Key Facts

• Xylitol triggers a rapid and massive release of insulin in dogs, leading to severe hypoglycemia within minutes of ingestion.
• High doses can cause acute liver failure and coagulopathies even if initial hypoglycemia is successfully managed.
• Common sources include sugar-free gum, breath fresheners, baked goods, and certain cosmetic products.
• Immediate veterinary intervention with intravenous dextrose and liver protectants is required to prevent fatal outcomes.
