| Re: Dogs and Xylitol--Warning for Owners Thanks, Bren! That stuff is not in my house, since it is not BGL friendly for me. Brutus is safe, but others should be aware.

| Re: Dogs and Xylitol--Warning for Owners Thank Brenda! That will go on my list of things that dogs and cats can't have. It's becoming a pretty long list. |

| Re: Dogs and Xylitol--Warning for Owners Thanks! Maybe we should make a list of things that we've read that are dangerous to dogs (or cats). I've also heard that chocolate, grapes and I think it was macadamia nuts are dangerous for dogs. What else? |

| Re: Dogs and Xylitol--Warning for Owners I just read a story about a dog and two cats going into liver failure after walking on floors washed with a swiffer wet jet. apparently the cleaning solution contains an antifreeze-like chemical and because you just squirt it on without diluting or rinsing, animals can be poisoned when they lick their paws after walking on it |

| Re: Dogs and Xylitol--Warning for Owners Goalie, this is one of those "urban myths" that has been circulating for---well I know for two years at least. I know these emails sound so plausible, but there is no truth in them. http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/swiffer.asp

| Re: Dogs and Xylitol--Warning for Owners Paracetomol is deadly for both dogs and cats - this has been confirmed by my vet. Onions, garlic and leeks are supposedly not good for dogs - I think these are supposed to affect kidney or liver function. And Lance's breeder swears that potatoes can cause skin problems in golden retrievers - since she has bred goldens for over 40 years I decided to take her word for that one so Lance only gets potato products when he steals them. I hadn't heard abnout macadamia nuts being a problem for dogs before. Any idea what these do?
