Xylitol Dangers
Many dog owners are already aware of the dangers of the sugar substitute Xylitol, however manufacturers of all kinds of products are switching to this substitute and NOT placing warning labels on their products to advise us of the change.
Most disappointing to me is the recent change made by the makers of Rescue Remedy, they have added Xylitol to their Rescue Pastilles ;(
I have been a Bach Rescue Remedy fan for many years now and have used the product and recommended the product to many other fellow pet owners.
If you suspect your dog has ingested a product containing Xylitol, keep the packaging and call your veterinarian immediately. Xylitol causes your dogs blood sugar to drop and can lead to severe liver damage and death.

This is a real threat to our Neo’s health. Although like chocolate, xylitol does not appear to be equally toxic to every dog it can be fatal when ingested. With dogs that are especially sensitive a couple of sticks of gum can be enough to cause the liver damage and hypoglycemia even in a dog as large as a Neo.
Thank you for posting! alarming but good to know this information.
