These are the xylitol products that could hurt your dog, and even be deadly.

Candies, Gum and Mints

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol. It is found naturally in some fruits (for example, berries and plums), vegetables (such as corn, mushrooms, and lettuce), oats, and even trees. In fact, it's extracted from corn fiber and birch trees.

It's been used as a sugar substitute for many years, though its popularity has increased recently due to its low glycemic index. Candy and gum are just some of the items it can be found in.
