Also be aware of other products that contain xylitol - Hammer Nutrition Products specifically, for all you athletes out there (they have a warning on their website somewhere, but a lot of the bike shops that carry the products don't know about the dog toxin potential). Spouse is a cyclist and we keep HEED, Perpetuem, etc. in the house, but we make sure the dogs don't touch any of it because it does contain xylitol. Watch those little packs of energy/electrolyte gel, too - they can be a very attractive, sweet chew for a dog if they fall out of a jersey pocket onto the dog shelf unnoticed.
