Please be careful what your dog might find and eat

Yesterday Benny, a 2-year-old dog that lives here in Alameda, ate a cupcake out of the compost that contained xylitol and passed away

@mrmoose they also have canned in that brand

@mrmoose Yes canned. I think it used to be always canned in the past, now they just put it in packets. But that's the one, right.

Sad...I hear xylitol warnings for pets with every recipe, and honestly haven't used it in cooking because of that. They say if you were to drop something made with it on the kitchen floor, even some batter it could kill a pet.

@cherokeepatti @cherokeepatti indeed, very bad for pets

@mrmoose I think I'll use my bag of xylitol for homemade mouthwash, add some mint flavor and not bake with it.

@cherokeepatti probably safer

@mrmoose Completely preventable, that's why it's so sad

@labsrock puppies are much like children, will eat things not good for them, so we have to watch over and be careful

@mrmoose Asolutely. I'm very cautious with my guys
