Whoa, Kandy! :eek: Thanks for sharing that with us. It's good to know, especially for those with pets!

We're bad about letting our white german shepherd Kaita eat people food. She's always turned her nose up at my artificially sweetened food----seems she's smarter than we are!:rofl:

A quote from the link:
One dog who had to be euthanized had eaten four large, chocolate-frosted muffins containing about 1 pound of xylitol.

Those must have been some really, REALLY large muffins!!

My previous dog nearly died from eating baking chocolate which has a chemical in it in greater concentration than regular chocolate, which speeds up a small animal's heart to the point of killing them.
