Dogs cannot eat xylitol. Xylitol is commonly found in chewing gum and sweeteners that replace white sugar. A dose of 100mg/kg can cause acute hypoglycemia in dogs (visible within 0.5-12 hours). A dose of 500mg/kg can cause liver damage.

Tip:

When a dog accidentally eats xylitol, it should be dealt with promptly. After being absorbed, xylitol can cause a large amount of insulin to be secreted, but xylitol does not provide a large amount of glucose, causing acute hypoglycemia in the body. First, induce vomiting quickly. If hypoglycemic coma does not occur, you can induce vomiting by instilling hydrogen peroxide. Oral activated charcoal has little effect. It is not recommended to use this method to absorb xylitol. Other symptomatic treatments and nutritional support therapy are not recommended.
