Happy Halloween from TIAH! 🎃🐾 A quick Halloween pet safety reminder: 🧡
PET SAFETY: XYLITOL = BIRCH SUGAR ⚠️
Some sugar-free candy and gum may contain XYLITOL, which can also be listed as BIRCH SUGAR. 🍬
XYLITOL IS TOXIC TO DOGS and can cause serious illness. Even small amounts can be dangerous. 🐶
Much of the research and knowledge around xylitol toxicity focuses on dogs, where it can be extremely dangerous, but Halloween candy and treats should still be kept safely away from all pets, including cats. 🐾🐱
If you think your pet has eaten something they shouldn’t have, contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital right away. 💚 Have a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃👻
