The new warning about the food that's fatal to dogs

Vets are warning about a sugar substitute that's deadly to dogs - Xylitol. It's commonly found in chewing gum but is being increasingly used in other products like cakes and sweets as manufacturers seek alternatives to sugar. But just a small amount can cause serious harm or even be fatal for dogs. There's a call for manufacturers to include clearer warnings on ingredient labels about the dangers.
