A city-wide alert went out for pet owners in Alameda, California, after a devastated couple shared a harrowing tale about their 2-year-old rescue dog who died after getting into the garbage. Zac Bowling and his fiancé said their schnauzer-terrier mix named Benny accidentally ate a cupcake that was made with xylitol, a popular sugar substitute.
“Yesterday Benny, a 2-year-old dog that lives here in Alameda, ate a cupcake out of the compost that contained xylitol and passed away,” the Sept. 5 alert to residents said. “While heartbroken, Benny’s family wants to make sure that other dog owners are aware of this poison.”
Dr. Michael Miller, a veterinary at Providence Veterinary Hospital & Clinic in Alameda, explained in the alert that xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs and can be found in chewing gum, breath mints, peanut butter and nasal sprays.
“It’s best to avoid xylitol completely and use other sugar substitutes,” Miller said in the alert. “If you cannot avoid using products containing xylitol, then make absolutely sure they are stored safely out of reach of your pets.”
This is one of the most dangerous poisons you could unknowingly have in your home. Do not use it, or keep it in your house. Make sure that ALL food that comes into your home is free of this drug!!!

no, It's a shame about all the dangers to pets, but I'm more concerned about people. We have all kinds of people problems in this country. We can start fixing those problems with guaranteed health care for all citizens of our country.

You are way off topic as usual. There is NO connection at all. The Constitution does not permit taking money from one person to pay for services for someone else . That is communism, which is not allowed in the Constitution.

Apparently not, nut dogs are not humans, they have different things that are harmful to them just as they catch different diseases. You, for instance, cannot catch canine distemper nor can your cat, but foxes wolves, coyotes and raccoons (I think also skunks) can get canine distemper.

chocolate can also kill dogs and ice water in hot weather can cause heart attacks in humans and animals to get over heated and then drink ice water

I found a long time ago to drink warm drinks in hot weather and cold drinks in cold weather. Your body recognizes warm drinks and will try to cool off and the opposite in cold weather. Mike

when I moved to ga my oldest son got a summer job mowing lawns in a trailer park I'd alway bring a milk jug full of ice water.Then some one caught me and told me about the ice water during hot weather. Never hurts to learn new things. Thanks for the information
