XYLITOL- a deadly danger to your pet!

From sugar-free chewing gum to toothpaste, sugar free peanut butter, sweets and cereals, these many products are perfectly safe for humans but because of different metabolisms can be deadly for your pet. Xylitol if ingested by pets causes a massive release of insulin from the pancreas. This, in turn, results in a dangerously low blood sugar level and symptoms such as weakness, trembling, seizures, collapse. At higher dosages, xylitol can cause massive liver destruction (known as necrosis) in which large numbers of liver cells die abruptly. This produces an acute health crisis and, in many cases, death.
