My client brought in her 'sugar-free' yogurt for her dog's kong, and the ingredient list was a real eye-opener

Xylitol's actually fine for most dogs, just not for cats.

It's crazy what they can hide in "sugar-free" stuff. A lot of those sweeteners are just as bad, or worse, for dogs. Xylitol is the big one to watch for, it's super toxic. Always gotta check the full list, not just the front label. My rule is if I wouldn't eat it myself, I don't give it to my dog. Plain yogurt is usually a much safer bet.

I used to give my dog sugar-free treats until @the_fiona's post made me check the labels more carefully, what do you look for now?

My friend's dog got sick from a sugar-free peanut butter.
