My Miniature Dachshund ate EXTRA spearmint gum. I was worried but she is okay and she is a small dog. It will give your dog a sore stomach and possibly diarea! It does not have Xylitol in it, so that will probably help. P'S I know that anyone can put in an answer but this is true, don't worry! If your dog is not doing better the next day, rush her to the vet!

Because of this you should immediately take the dog to a veterinarian if you think he's had any xylitol. The most common source of xylitol for a dog is sugar-free gum, but there are other sugar-free human foods that have xylitol in them.
