      It’s basically anti-freeze to dogs. Kills them quickly and painfully from even relatively small amounts

        They don’t sneak chocolate into peanut butter and people use peanut butter as a dog treat it as a way to hide medication from dogs.

        Xylitol shouldn’t be used in any product a dog might be tempted to eat. And dogs love peanut butter.

        The fatal dose is significantly lower for xylitol. If my 90 lb dog ate a few pieces of chocolate, he might be miserable for a few days and need a vet visit, but it would take a lot to be fatal. If he ate a few pieces of gum, it could make him much, much sicker or kill him.
