Midnightmom Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Dog Owners: Xylitol Found in Certain Peanut and Nut Butters Xylitol can be found in many products, including gum, breath mints, candy, jams, and children’s vitamins. And of special concern to dog lovers, xylitol can even be found in certain brands of peanut butter, a popular human food for dogs. (Xylitol can kill your dog or cause permanent liver damage) So far, mainstream peanut butter brands haven’t started using xylitol—only these specialty brands include it in their formulations: Nuts ‘N More, Hank’s Protein Plus Peanut Butter, P28, Krush Nutrition, and Go Nuts, Co. The subtle presence of xylitol in these butters definitely highlights the importance of reading ingredient labels on products you bring into your home.

Jeepers Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 THANK YOU MIDNIGHTMOM! I'll definitely pass on the information! I had a post in another forum awhile back talking about the dangers of Xylitol to dogs. Quote Link to comment
