I just wanted to let everyone know that I have created a group on Facebook.
The name of the group is New Jersey Association of Guide Dog Users, I
invited a few of you on last night but if you wish not to be in the group
you can always take yourself out of it.  For those of you who have not been
invited to the group if you wish please just do a search for our division
and request to be in the group.  I just have not had the chance yet to
search and invite you all as of yet.

My thoughts for this is just to invite others, spread awareness, keep it
updated with all that we are doing with hopes to increase membership.
Anyone can go on the page and post comments.

Let's have fun with this and we need to post pictures too.  I would like to
get a group picture of all who are going to convention and we can make that
our profile picture!!!

 

Sincerely,

Trisha

Subject: Alert: Potential problem for your dog

 

A common sugar substitute known as xylitol (x y l i t o l), often used in
sugarless gum, can be deadly to dogs. Never leave sugarless gum in a place
where dogs can reach it. 

Unfortunately, xylitol is now being used in other products, including peanut
butter. Many of us routinely give our dogs peanut butter as a treat or as a
way to give a pill. If you're giving peanut butter to your dog, make sure it
doesn't contain xylitol! According to published reports, brands that contain
xylitol include Go Nuts, Hank's Protein Plus Peanut Butter, Krush Nutrition,
Nuts 'n More, and P28.

Xylitol, a naturally occurring alcohol found in plants, is sometimes listed
under other names. The A S P C A Animal Poison Control Center says to be on
the lookout for any ingredient with the letters x y l, including
anhydroxylitol, xylite, or xylitylglucoside. Sometimes it is spelled with a
Z, such as zylatol. Or it can be listed as "birch bark extract" or "birch
sugar."

In dogs, even a small amount of xylitol can cause hypoglycemia (low blood
sugar), resulting in weakness, disorientation, tremors, vomiting, or
seizures. Higher doses of xylitol can cause severe liver damage or even
death. Because xylitol is slowly absorbed by the body, symptoms can begin
anywhere from 30 minutes to up to 12 hours after the xylitol was eaten.

For more information, call the A S P C A's Animal Poison Control Center at
(888) 426-4435.

With Halloween around the corner, it's also a good time to remind you that
chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, and raisins also are very bad for
dogs.
