How Can Xylitol Be Good For Me And Bad For My Dog?

You’re probably familiar with a number of foods that are perfectly safe for humans but can be potentially harmful to dogs — chocolate, grapes, and macadamia nuts, to name just a few. You can add xylitol to that list – great for humans, but not so great for dogs.

The benefits of xylitol to humans are enormous, particularly when it comes to fighting cavities. They’re so good for your teeth that we here at Epic like to call our gum and mints Smile Vitamins. But just like any number of things in your medicine cabinet, Smile Vitamins can be harmful if the wrong people get their paws on them.

Most of the time, when you eat something sweet, it leads to a temporary increase in your blood sugar. Xylitol doesn’t cause an increase in blood sugar in the same way as regular table sugar or other sweeteners. Fortunately for us, human bodies can recognize xylitol and know not to trigger the same insulin response that they would for other sweeteners.

Dogs, on the other hand, have an extreme response when they eat xylitol – their bodies sense something sweet is on the way, and they overcorrect, releasing way too much insulin. This insulin causes their blood sugar levels to dip dangerously low.
