Can Dogs Eat Xylitol?

⚡ Quick Veterinary Answer

NO! Xylitol (birch sugar) triggers rapid, massive insulin release causing severe hypoglycemia and acute hepatic necrosis (liver failure).

Critical Hazard Alert

Xylitol is rapidly absorbed into a dog's bloodstream within 10-60 minutes, leading to life-threatening drops in blood sugar and severe liver damage.
