WARNING ABOUT XYLITOL! (We don't use it, but many other "KETO" companies do!) PLEASE READ YOUR LABELS AND PROTECT YOUR PRECIOUS DOGGIE COMPANIONS!

See a note from Dr. Gary Richter below - his notes about XYLITOL and your dog(s).


Hey Iris,

I want to give you some important veterinary advice today...

Quite frankly, it can save your dog’s life.

Now, by no means do I want to scare you. But I do want you to be “in the know.”

Especially, when it has to do with the health and safety of your four-legged friend.

So, let me ask you a question...

Did you know there’s a common candy 100 times more toxic than chocolate?1
 
Here’s a hint:
  • It freshens your breath
     
  • It keeps your ears from popping on an airplane
     
  • The average person goes through almost 300 of these a year


I’m talking about CHEWING GUM.

However, when it comes to your dog’s health...

The real culprit is sugar-free gum.

It turns out, one piece of this stuff can kill a twenty pound dog. One piece!

The reason is due to a single ingredient...

XYLITOL.

[Note: Although xylitol is mainly found in sugarless gum, it can also be found in many unexpected household items too.]

Now, while it’s safe for you and me to consume…

This popular sugar substitute can be downright deadly for your dog.

You see, when xylitol enters a dog’s system, it produces an overdose of insulin. This causes a dangerous and drastic drop in their blood sugar levels.

In the medical community, we call it hypoglycemia.

It can even lead to liver failure.

And if this “sticky situation” isn’t caught in time (usually within 30 to 60 minutes), it can have life-threatening consequences.2

So, how can you protect your dog?

Luckily, there are some simple and effective ways to safeguard your little guy or gal from scary situations like this...

All you have to do is give your dog some “T.L.C.”


Simply put…

Tighten the lids on your garbage cans.

Lift your bags out of “doggy reach.”

And close those cabinet doors.

Remember, dogs are curious critters. And any tasty — eye level — treat is bound to get sniffed... then eaten.

However, by taking a few simple steps, you can easily ensure your dog stays out of several “doggy danger zones.”

It might sound simple, but believe me — giving your dog a little “TLC” can make a WORLD of difference for their health.

After all, when it comes to keeping your dog safe, it’s important to keep the WRONG things out of their paws.

To happy and healthy dog years ahead,
Dr. Gary Richter
