  • Xylitol is a sweetener that is found in many products, including sugar-free gum and toffees. If a dog consumes a product with xylitol, it causes a rapid drop in blood sugar. This could result in weakness and seizures. Some dogs have even suffered liver.
  • Many plants are poisonous to dogs so do be careful about what plants you grow in your garden or inside your home. Azaleas and rhododendrons could cause vomiting and diarrhea; your dog could even go into a coma, or in the worst- case scenario, die. Tulips and daffodils are such pretty flowers but if your dog eats the bulbs of either of these plants they can suffer serious stomach problems. They could also get seizures and their heart rate could spike.
  • Keep your garbage bin in a safe place where your doggie cannot rifle through it. He could pick up chicken bones or fish bones, which could get stuck in his throat or even choke him.
