I just have not had the chance yet to search and invite you all as of yet.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>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.

Never leave sugarless gum in a place where dogs can reach it. <br><br>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.<br><br>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."<br><br>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.<br><br>For more information, call the A S P C A's Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.<br><br>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. <br><br></span><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
