My dog ate xylitol days ago. Is he okay if he seems fine now?

Xylitol causes hypoglycemia and potentially liver failure. If Arlo May have ingested xylitol in the past 48 hours I’d recommend contacting the Pet Poison Helpline (www.petpoisonhelpline.com). If it’s been more than 48 hours I’d recommend seeing your vet to have them check liver values.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Rolo. Even a small amount can be toxic, xylitol is so deadly to pets. You would see signs of toxicity within 15-30 minutes after ingestion, so watch him for this time. If you don't see any signs after this time, he should be fine. I hope this helps!

This quantity is unlikely to give any problem other than mild gastrointestinal upset. Toxic effects seen with ingestion of 0.15 g/kg consist of hypoglycemia and hepatic failure. Based on this calculation your dog should have ingested 1,95grs; even though chewing gum pieces have surprisingly variable amounts of xylitol depending on their flavor the maximum amount I have found is 0.3grs per gum. Having said that, in Harley's case we are definitively far away from toxic dosages. I would recommend to monitor him for the next 4-6hours and, should any sign occur, like vomiting and diarrhoea, a check up would be required.

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Kiara. Xylitol toxicity occurs between 15-30 minutes after ingestion, and if it's been over 30 minutes and she is fine, she may not have eaten it. Either that, or the bit she ate was not big enough to cause any problems. I'd keep an eye on her for now, but if she is fine by tomorrow morning, there will be no need to worry. I hope this helps.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can be observed with gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, food sensitivity, foreign body ingestion and obstruction or other conditions such as pancreatitis or kidney disease. I think that this is less likely due to xylitol toxicity at this point but there is always the possibility that this could be due to long lasting effects to the liver which is possible with this toxicity. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include abdominal imaging and general bloodwork. Treatment would depend on findings. Good luck and have a great day!

As long as Scooby doesn’t have any medical conditions like pancreatitis I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Peanut butter without xylitol is not toxic, and although the one episode of vomiting may be related or you may see diarrhea it should be self limiting. If Scooby continues to vomit however you should see your vet.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If you have the packaging see if it tells you how many milligrams (mg) of xylitol it contains or you can call the company and ask. Bentley would have had to ingest 2410mg of xylitol for it to be a toxic dose. I doubt that him licking a basically empty container would have enough to harm him. But it isn't wrong to double check. Good luck!
