Dogs are constantly sniffing out things to eat. They have a knack for finding food lying on the ground or tucked away in pockets and drawers. Unfortunately, for one Wisconsin family, their dog’s curiosity ended up having dire consequences after she ate something they had no idea could kill her.
While the family was out of the home, Luna a beautiful 2-year-old Golden Retriever, chewed open a container of Ice Breakers lemon-flavored chewing gum. Gum would not normally cause any problems if eaten by a dog, but this gum contained Xylitol, the chemical sweetener used in sugar-free foods and which is highly toxic to dogs.
After eating some of the sticks inside, Luna got very sick, and by the time the family rushed her to the vets she was already suffering from severe liver damage. The vets told the family the terrible news and they had to make a choice no pet parent ever wants to make. “We just didn’t want her to suffer so we had to put her down,” sobbed Samantha Caress.
