Xylitol Kills Dogs-Petition to Have Gum Companies and Other Sugar-Free Product Companies To Put Warning Labels on Products Containing Xylitol
On August 19th, 2010, I had to euthanize my 3 year old, 115 lb., Rottweiler, Max. He accidentally ate a pack of Trident sugar-free gum which contained Xylitol (a sugar-alcohol that is beneficial to humans and diabetics). Max died because I was not aware that Xylitol is deadly to dogs. A small amount can kill a 20 lb. dog within 30 minutes. My goal is to persuade gum companies and other companies that use Xylitol to label their products warning pet owners on the danger of Xylitol to dogs.
Please sign and help other people not have to go through such a tradgedy.

I am hearing from so many people who had no idea this chemical was in their pantry or purse. Post the link to this petition on your Facebook wall right now to warn your neighbors before another pet is lost. Tag your local veterinarians and ask them to display a warning sign in their lobby.

The momentum we have built proves that people are ready to demand accountability from these companies. Send a direct message to each manufacturer on their official social media pages and ask them to add a warning label today. Keep the pressure on.

RIDICULOUS THAT THIS ISNT LABELED. MY VET SAID IT WAS TOO LATE BY THE TIME WE GOT THERE. STOP USING XYLITOL!!
Lost my lab last month to this stuff. Had no idea gum could do that. It needs a big warning label on the front.
Just checked my pantry and half my stuff has this sweetener. So dangerous for pets. Needs to change now.
We almost lost our pup after he grabbed a pack off the coffee table. Seriously scary stuff.
People deserve to know. My dog didnt survive the night after getting into my work bag.
My dog Wolfie just died from ingesting Juicy Fruit sugarless gum
all products including mint dental floss should be so labeled!
