Can dogs eat xylitol?
🬄 Toxic — never feed
This sugar substitute (in gum, peanut butter, baked goods) causes a rapid, dangerous blood-sugar drop and liver damage in dogs.
If eaten: Always check peanut butter labels for xylitol; ingestion is an emergency.
The bottom line
Do not feed xylitol to your dog — it is toxic and even small amounts can be dangerous. When in doubt, call your vet or a pet poison helpline.
For your dog's main diet, what matters most is the food itself. Paste your dog food's ingredients into the WoofScore checker to see how it grades.
