( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) peanut butter
JennaTools
My daughter regularly throws her pbj crust to the dogs. Thanks for this.
Greeneyeddevil
Also garlics, onions, shallots, any members of that family. Your cats too, cats and dogs can't have garlic. Don't feed them off your plate.

Thank you so much, I hide my dogs heartworm pills in peanut butter.

You can probably continue to do so.

It's in chewing gum too.

Human food is for humans. Dog food is for dogs. This is just one of many reasons why.

Why the fuck would you put sugar in peanut butter let alone substitute it with something else.
kubit
Because people get hooked on shit that contains both sugar and fat?
molliolli
But it tastes like crap.

If your dog eats xylitol and you notice it less than half hour after indigestion, give him some salt. This will make your dog throw up. 1/4
Tricksterrr
2/4 (1 teaspoon of salt + some water, roll into a ball). If it’s been more than half an hour, monitor your dog and give..
Tricksterrr
3/4 him sugar (1 tablespoon/5 kg) for several hours. If dog is unconscious, you can rub some honey or syrup on his gums...
Tricksterrr
4/4 and of course, go to the vet.

Xylitos is helpful for keeping your teeth nice and clean. We use it in gum here in Finland. (We also don't give gum or p-nut butter to dogs)

Xylitol*
H0dari
In Finland there's a thriving market for xylitol gum. I guess this is good to know even though we don't have dogs.
LittleStrawHouse
For a brief moment I thought you meant that no one has dogs there in Finland, and I was sad for Finland.
Muad
Oh no, we even have half a dozen breeds of our very own! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Finnish_dogs

Our dog once ate a box of Mynthons and once a bag of Jenkki-gum while we were out. He's a pretty small dog, so we we're amazed he didn't die
AlwaysTrustTheManInABigWhiteVan
He got to them by opening the zipper of my backpack and digging through. Made some weird poo after that though.

I believe xylitol is really good for your teeth.
VonKarnstein
There is chewing gum that doesn't have xylitol?
temotodochi
I have never heard of xylitol poisoning for dogs. Much more about chocolate poisoning. Sounds fishy.
sienihemmo
Interesting thing about the chocolate poisoning by the way; The darker the chocolate, the less is needed for a lethal dose.
DiamonDie
Sadly both things are very real.
hwatL4bloopy
Wtf why in peanut butter
PikovayaDama
I always thought it was for diabetics (myself being recently diagnosed).
PSIhateyou
Easily passed. High sweetness so less is used. Isn't absorbed into fat like glucose.
Greeneyeddevil
There's lots of shit fatal to them and fine for us; garlic, onions and their cousins, chocolate, avocado, grapes etc

dunecat1337
Because it's perfectly safe for humans, and it's food certified by the human FDA.

TheyCallMeFlimBarfer
I Just checked kraft original peanut, it says nothing about xylitol in the ingredients. It claims they use sugar
kanerla
But they are beginning to use xylitol.
lraskie
Xylitol would be more expensive than sugar; it'd be in specialty products and products made for diabetics.
PikovayaDama
Finally someone other than me saying it.
PikovayaDama
Xylitol will literally do nothing to you except if you have too much of it (in case you might get diarrhea) and it's healthier than (1)
PikovayaDama
sugar so... yea (2)
kanerla
No, not to humans. But for dogs it's dangerous.
SheerAnalBumParty
Only certain "specialty brands" are using it, most sold out of health stores (irony much?)
steakfight
Xylitol IS healthy, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylitol#Health_benefits.
SheerAnalBumParty
Well, not to dogs.
steakfight
The stores are for humans, aren't they?
PikovayaDama
Zero irony seeing as sugar alcohols are generally healthier than actual sugar.
SheerAnalBumParty
Again, as the context is about dogs being poisoned by it...
PikovayaDama
Dogs are poisoned by a lot of things. And health stores have nothing to do with dogs. If a vet was selling it then maybe,
SheerAnalBumParty
Eh forget it.
SheerAnalBumParty
My internet logic is flawed it seems. Need moar coffee.
OpenDaMouth
Don't they use xylitol in some toothpastes?
Alexagon
Yes, and it's actually very beneficial to humans. It's the same thing with chocolate and grapes, dangerous to dogs, completely fine for us.

LitchLitch
*facepalm* xylitol is not an "alternative to fluoride", do utterly different things, xylitol is for flavor, flouride is for tooth structure
lraskie
Sugar alcohols also work to deter bacterial growth, its used pretty commonly in mouth wash.
LitchLitch
flouride is not an antibacterial additive. it is added because it improves the mineralization of tooth enamel
steakfight
Xylitol has that effect, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylitol#Dental_care.
lraskie
I didn't say that wasn't its purpose... The affects of fluoride are really only clinically useful up til young adults for teeth.
SexDrugsBirdsandRocknRoll
Also, never give peanut butter to rats. Greedy little ones eat it too fast and choke, and they can't throw up.
dirtywildlifer
I put it on my traps. it's to die for.

Can I give to rats that aren't supposed to enter my house?

You have to smear it on a wooden chew block or something so they don't tard out. My rat would go berserk when she smelled it. Was obsessed!
mckenna310
Never knew that! Is that for all rodents?
SexDrugsBirdsandRocknRoll
I am not sure, but it looks like its a pretty common thing in rodents
ImASexyUnicorn
Why can't they throw up?!
justasomeone
no gag reflex
SexDrugsBirdsandRocknRoll
They don't have the right muscles in their diaphragm or esophagus. They also cant burp, which is why you don't give them anything carbonated

We lost our sweet little pup this way. Vet believes he got a stray piece of gum. Maybe even chewed & discarded. It is also a painful death
Veryrelatedfactsthatarenotveryinteresting
Oh wow! My dog LOOOOVES gum. We never let him have it but it happens. One time she ate 2-3 packs of the shit. Was one of the funniest 1/2
Veryrelatedfactsthatarenotveryinteresting
things I've experienced, trying to get all that gum out of an unwilling terriers mouth while my eyes watered from the freshest breath ever
SexyPorcupine
*hugs* I'm sorry for your loss. Poor darling... :(
NiCrAlY
Really one piece?
Saynine
Yes. He was 5 pounds. the first sign was a seizure. We ran him to the vet and he had a blood sugar of zero. His pancreas was shot.
WhatRaySay
I'm so sorry
chancehandy
52 lb 7yro pit ate pack of watermelon trident-> pet ER-> magic barf juice->bag of IV->many liver meds->alive and well. This shit is serious.

I'm so glad your pit survived.

Omg some dickhead left gum on my porch. My fucking porch! Of course the dog found it. (She's fine, I stopped her from eating it).

popopocelot
Seriously? Omg. I have a new reason to hate people who throw their gum on the floor.
OhManIHopeIDontGetOneOfThoseLongUsernames
I would think a normally piece of chewed gum will have little to no sugar alcohol left in it, hence the reason most people spit it out.
OhManIHopeIDontGetOneOfThoseLongUsernames
But I agree, it's a gross habit.
Rajatanssi
Chewed and discarded won't do harm, xylitol is gone. Sorry for your loss though.
Saynine
Thank you. However if all xylitol was gone immediately the gum would instantly lose flavor. Our vet has been working on this issue for (1/2)
Rajatanssi
Yes, but who discards their gum while it has flavor left?
Saynine
Some time, and has collected discarded gum for testing. Very small dogs are susceptible to minute doses.
eggmuffin
Hypoglycemia is very dangerous, but easy to treat. The problem is in identifying it before it's too late.
inyoni
I work in small animal ER. It is tedious and difficult to treat, especially in puppies. I'm sorry @Saynine for your loss.
Saynine
Thank you
eggmuffin
(Hyperglycemia is trickier to treat, but relatively harmless.)
Saynine
It is not easy to treat in a 5 lb dog that has his pancreas destroyed and in kidney failure as well as seizing. they tried for 2 days.
eggmuffin
Obviously(!) that would make it somewhat more complicated. It'd be real tricky if it was engaged in a gun-toting car chase too.
inyoni
Treating the source/damage from hypoglycemia is not easy, and xylitol toxicity affects pets w/in 30 min - making it hard to treat in time.
eggmuffin
treating the damage is easy, but how can it be so hard to treat the hypoglycemia itself? How different is it from humans?
inyoni
Because the hypoglycemia caused by the toxicity. I'm happy to explain further in a message if you'd like. Char. cap makes this difficult.
eggmuffin
2/2 Obviously, the pup can still be saved, but my point was that it's trickier to spot it in a dog than in a human, prior to this point.
eggmuffin
Aha, I get that we're talking about a critical level of hypoglycemia here. That's kind of the point I was referring to as being "too late".
pugilistpenguin
Had a dog that constantly got into things she wasn't supposed to; a whole pack of gum once, my brother's breathing meds, chocolate. 1/2
pugilistpenguin
Bitch won't die, she's like the doggy version of the Incredible Hulk or something. 2/2
SpongebobMacNCheese
My dog ate an entire bag of m&m's once and the only consequence was a few days of weird poops.
ninjafinity
My first dog ate a big portion of a 4.5 lb bag of chocolate chips. I was young, so I don't remember, but apparently he just puked a bunch.
peridotite
As long as it's not sugar free gum.
NurietaGM
You are correct BUT a lot of brands are using now sorbitol or mannitol which are safe for dogs. Technically.
pugilistpenguin
No, it has xylitol. A pack of eclipse I believe.
pinecone
Wait, some gums have sugar in them?
pinecone
Doesn't it defeat the point of the gum?

I am sorry. --- Adding: vinegar fumes kill small animals, even mammals. If you clean your coffeepot/dishwasher like this, take heed.
blitherypoop
Only if it's heated.
TheCanadianNerd
I've cleaned animal pee out of carpets and off of floors with hot water and vinegar for years. And can't find any evidence you're truthing.
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
Well, if we want to get psycho, you can buy a gerbil, put it in a cage next to the coffeepot, clean it with vinegar, and watch the
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
4) Though - coffeemaker and dishwasher likely create far more fumes - while scrubbing with a mix doesn't - that's probably the factor.
TheCanadianNerd
Yes, I was going to say. It's different if you're literally boiling the vinegar I'm sure. I use hot water to help it soak in. :)
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
Air freshener spray, as well. Some people get a shock when they go the easy route for making their pet's cage smell better.
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
3) by giving it fresh air. It was puffed up and falling over while walking. After 10 minutes of fresh air he was almost fine. It's a thing.
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
2) little guy die. I lost a gerbil and a rat in a separate room from the coffeemaker. Brought the 2nd gerbil back from the brink
TheCanadianNerd
Was looking at things cat/dog sized. Still can't find anything about rodents being sensitive to anything besides smell.
TheCanadianNerd
And that you can use baking soda/vinegar as a diy co2 generator for euthanizing them..
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
I know. I currently own my 14th rat. Euthanization comes with the gig, sadly. It's why I've switched to catsnakes - can't take the short

Salt. I just want: Peanuts, Salt (or the no salt kind for the puppy). Why im looking up ingredients to Jif this morning, who knows. (2/2)

It wouldn't really be peanut butter with just those two, it would be like crushed peanuts and salt. The other stuff is the "butter" part.

Sadly, weird hippy shit is exactly what I imagine some people might think is best for dogs.
qwicksilfer
I use natural peanut butter that has no added sugar...not hippy, more yuppy. Only the best for my dog. Because he's going to live forever.
dirtywildlifer
But you'd think hippies would use natural. One ingredient, roasted peanuts. Delicious except when it's winter and i can't stir it

Like putting your pet on a gluten-free or vegan diet? God, I fucking hate people

Well, to be fair, gluten is a wheat thing so most pets should have gluten-free diets. Especially cats. But vegan is dumb for most pets

Dogs should be on a gluten-fee diet, FYI.
