Xylitol
Xylitol is a sugar alternative found in human foods like candy, chewing gum, baked sweets, and other items. It’s extremely toxic to dogs, causing rapid insulin release that can put them in a coma within 15 to 20 minutes, according to Ahna Brutlag of the Pet Poison Helpline.
“You need to call your vet or the Pet Poison Helpline immediately,” Brutlag told PetMD. They may advise you to feed them syrup or honey on the way to the emergency clinic to boost their blood sugar during the drive. However, you should only do this if you receive instructions to do so.

Long ago, I had a couple of French Poodles, (the toy size). My nephew is a Doctor Veterinarian, knowing how I am meticulous about food, he suggest I feed my two Poodles “home food”. Being a good cook, I used to prepare a SPECIALTY for my Poodles: in a frying pan, add 4 ounces of ground meat and 6?? ounces of rice and a enough water. Mix all together and let it boil, then let simmer until the rice and meat are eatable. Then serve your dogs, usually once a day around 04:00 pm. Remember, (NO BUTTER, NO OIL, NO SALT, NO FAT) I have been doing it for years until they reached the time that I had to move to an Overseas Country, when I gave my dogs to a relative who followed my advice. I was told that both dogs surpassed their usual aging by several years and was so sorry to give them to up to be euthanized. He berried their bodies in his backyard and built a small monument. The two dogs were NEVER THICK. The only time they visited a Vet was when they had to cut their tails (usual for Poodles)
