Goodness!! Thanks so much for the warning! Makes me think twice about putting mints in my purse as Bailey loves to look through it!

Emma almost died from a breath mint last year... It was SOOOO scary!!! It was just one mint, and she's got a little size to her (18 1/2 pounds of solid muscle.... not a teensy toy dog or anything).

thank you for posting that! I knew there was something about artificial sweeteners that was bad for dogs, but wasn't sure what it was.

Thanks for posting that!

This was a few yrs ago:
My Shadow was really sick and I didn' t know what was wrong with him!
I had to take him to the Emergency Clinic to get checked out 'cos my usual vet is only open a few days a week (semi-retired)
And the vet there said he was having seizures, bloodwork showed nothing, but his sugar was a little low, that' s all they told me!
My Aunt (who' s a nurse) told me he sounded like he could have been poisioned & asked if we put any kind of flea/tick products on him.
He never had anymore problems & never knew what happened!

Now I wonder if breath mints caused it 'cos we would have 'em on the coffee table & Shadow was known to steal chap stick & gum!

:wow: Thanks for posting that. Like Kim, I remembered that artificial sweetners were bad for dogs, I didn't know that they were deadly.
