There is an interesting story in my neighborhood newspaper this week about the danger of the artificial sweetener, xylitol, to dogs. Emma Cate Graham found this out the hard way when her Norwich Terrior puppy Ladybug accidentally injested some Icebreakers gum, which contains xylitol, and died of major organ failure. Shortly after her death, Emma Cate decided to start a campaign to educate others about the dangers of xylitol. She has a website http://www.ladybugslegacy.org/ with pictures of Ladybug and information about xylitol. It also includes a link to a printable flyer for distribution to the pet community.
The website isn't up yet but should be by the end of the week.
Here is a link to the article
