A good friend of mine had quite a bad scare regarding Xylitol once. Her dog, a 4 lb. Yorkie called Baxter, ate quite a bit of her roommate's sugar free gum while my friend was away on a trip. Essentially a dogs pancreas begins making mega-insulin to combat what it regards as a sugar spike. For about a week they thought Baxter wouldn't make it, but he pulled through!

We feed out dogs with the most natural food available to us (we use the Lassie natural something something. I forget what it's called) and also supplement meats and some vegetables when the dogs will eat them.

Someday I will post pictures of my dogs.
