May Help With Xylitol Poisoning

As a kid (or maybe even in recent years), you might’ve gotten gum stuck in your locks. The solution to removing it is a hydrophobic substance that repels or doesn’t mix with water, like peanut butter or vaseline.

But when it’s your dog that accidentally comes across gum, ingesting it instead of just getting some stuck on their fur, you might need hydrogen peroxide. Xylitol, present in sugar-free gum, is poisonous to dogs. As per the website K9 of Mine, most veterinarians recommend giving a pup about one milliliter of 3% hydrogen peroxide per pound of body weight. Make sure to consult your vet first before doing this, though.
