Comment on Eating Foods with Xylitol Can Be a Risk to Your Heart

Comments

Xylitol in the quantities found in a single piece of gum that uses it as. Sweetener, will kill your cat or dog in like 30 minutes. So I keep xylitol out of my house. ESP since my little dog likes mint!

Theobromines found in a single piece of chocolate can kill a dog. Animal models have limited ability to predict what will happen in humans.

My understanding is that’s usually meant to mean a bar of milk chocolate or a smaller piece of dark chocolate. Though I could be absolutely wrong.

I don't think think the concern in this case is any perceived possible human danger, but the actual real danger to the pets.
