Trident Sugarless Gum

[minnie50]

I can't find the article but our late news last night had a warning that Trident and other sugarless gums are toxic to DOGS ONLY. 1/2 to 1 stick of gum can kill a 20 lb dog so watch where you leave your purse if you have a dog that might be after your gum.

it's the Xylitol in the gum. Thant makes it a danger

Thanks so much for informing us! I don't do gum but I'll pass it along to those that do chew gum.

It's also other sugarfree candies not just gum.

Thanks for the warning. Denali is notorius for grabbing stuff off the table and she has grabbed gum before but I always caught her before she ate any of it.
