One morning my husband and I were getting ready for work when he called out from the kitchen, “Did you spill a glass of water? The floor is wet.” Of course, I didn’t: I would never not clean it up. We dismissed it as something Chloe, our beagle, probably knocked over (her water bowl, a cup she swiped from the table, etc.).

As dog owners, we all know that some foods are toxic to dogs: chocolate, raisins and grapes, garlic and onions, avocados, and macadamia nuts, just to name a few. What most dog owners don’t know, is that gum, mints and other sugar-free foods can be deadly to our canine kids.
