Most of us have heard of xylitol artificial sweetener, present in chewing gum, many diet foods, cake mixes, human toothpaste and more.
It is now being rebranded as Birch sugar, which is correct for it being an extract of the birch tree. This makes it sound more friendly as a natural foodstuff, so it could be easy to buy foods containing it by mistake.
Another reason not to give dogs human titbits.

Thank you, Patsy, for this information. It is good to do a check periodically, especially during holidays. I don't usually have grapes in the house but they were bought for the holidays......i sent them home with relatives without dogs.

I also just did a check of the plants I have in my house and found one that is in the lily family, which I didn't realize. Madison never bothers with it, but I am not taking any chances. It's good to do a review every so often.
