Perhaps you should point out to potential users and promoters of xylitol (as per your article in the winter issue by Mark James [pages 18–20]) that this substance is fatal to dogs. Anyone purchasing products sweetened with this chemical should not under any circumstances give a titbit to their pet. There are articles about this — just search on ‘xylitol dog’.
