Sweetener xylitol can be toxic to
dogs
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals' Animal Poison Control Center is warning
veterinarians, their staff, and pet owners that the xylitol—a
sweetener found in some sugar-free chewing gums, candies,
and other products can cause serious—possibly
life-threatening problems for dogs.
The American Society for the Prevention of Dogs ingesting
large amounts of products sweetened with xylitol may have a
sudden drop in blood sugar, resulting depression, loss of
coordination, and seizures, according to Dr. Eric K. Dunayer,
a consulting veterinarian in clinical toxicology for the
poison control center. The center is most concerned about
products in which xylitol is the primary ingredient. The
American Society for the Prevention of "These signs can
develop quite rapidly, at times less than 30 minutes after
ingestion of the product," Dr. Dunayer said in a statement.
"Therefore, it is important that pet owners seek veterinary
treatment immediately."
The American Society for the Prevention of Some data suggest
a link between xylitol ingestion and liver failure in dogs,
he said, though those data are insufficient to draw firm
conclusions. The American Society for the Prevention of Dr.
Dunayer published a case study on xylitol toxicosis in April
2004 issue of the journal Veterinary and Human Toxicology.

"What is the single
MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTIC OF A VIZSLA?" |
|
Response by Leslie A. Johnson,
Owner of Jazzan Vizslas |
|
The answer to that question
depends on many things. But, this question must be
asked first...
What is the purpose for which you wish to have a
Vizsla in your life?"
Do you wish to have a
Conformation Champion of the American Kennel Club? If
so, the head is very important, the eyes, ear set, and top line are all
important features.
Do you wish to have a Field
Trial Champion of the American Kennel Club, an active hunter able
to out perform other Sporting Group Breeds? Natural ability
would be very important.
Do you
wish to have an Agility Champion of the American Kennel Club?
An Obedience Champion? A Tracking Champion?
Do you
wish to have a Vizsla join your family for companionship, affection
and fun?
For all of
these... |
...TEMPERAMENT
is the single most important characteristic in all our
Vizslas, bred at Jazzan Vizslas.
So, come on in and check us out!
