But in contrast to xylitol&#8217;s health benefits in humans, xylitol can be deadly to dogs. In small amounts this artificial sweetener can cause your dog&#8217;s blood sugar to drop drastically.<!--more--> In large doses, xylitol can cause liver failure in canines. So make sure when you chew your gum with xylitol for a healthy smile, you keep that gum well out of reach of your canine companions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>This post is part of the Blogging From A\u00a0To\u00a0Z April <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yourdesignerdogblog.com\/category\/a-to-z-challenge\/\" target='_blank' >Challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/slimdoggy.com\/\" target='_blank' >Slimdoggy<\/a>&#8216;s blog hop below for other great pet blogs taking the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yourdesignerdogblog.com\/category\/a-to-z-challenge\/\" target='_blank' >challenge<\/a> with me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-FQd2FnNqD_o\/UuZ52FSt0_I\/AAAAAAAAL9Q\/gSywSkF8kqU\/s1600\/X.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-FQd2FnNqD_o\/UuZ52FSt0_I\/AAAAAAAAL9Q\/gSywSkF8kqU\/s1600\/X.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<!-- start LinkyTools script --><script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkytools.com\/thumbnail_linky_include.aspx?id=231679\"><\/script><!-- end LinkyTools script --><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\nThanks for liking us!
