Warning for Pet Owners
Oct. 1st, 2006 01:13 pmhttp://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/dog-owners-warned-over-sugar-free-items/20061001101809990005?ncid=NWS00010000000001
Granted, we're not supposed to be giving our animals food other than dog food. However, I know I'm not the only one who on occasion does give my dog a bite here and there of table food. Or who has a marauder in the household who will sneak stuff he can reach (and even stuff you think he can't). So to be forewarned, apparently the sugar substitute Xylitol can cause liver failure in dogs. So definitely be cautious in storage containers for your sugar-free stuff, and don't share them with your doggies. :o)
