The Hidden Dangers of Xylitol

Since xylitol is popping up in so many different products, you need to check the ingredient list for anything your dog might get into.

Keep in mind that manufacturers might use other names for xylitol on the label. Be on the lookout for these aliases:
✔️ Birch sugar
✔️ Birch bark extract
✔️ Birch sap
✔️ Sugar alcohol (Xylitol is one type of sugar alcohol)

If you see any of these terms, keep that product well out of paw's reach

STOP the Sip! 🚫🌲

Keep your dog out of the Christmas tree water!

That seemingly innocent water can be a toxic cocktail of fertilizers, pesticides, sap, and bacteria, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, and a miserable holiday.

EASY FIXES:
✔️ Cover Up: Completely hide the tree stand with a tree skirt or a decorative baby gate/fence.
✔️ Deter: Use a pet-safe deterrent spray around the base (but test it first!).
✔️ Go Fake: Use an artificial tree to eliminate the water hazard entirely!
