‼️FYI‼️
You may have heard that xylitol is toxic to dogs, but have you heard of birch sugar, birch bark extract, or wood sugar? These are all new names for xylitol!
Many products that are ‘sugar free’ aren’t typically given to dogs- gum, candy, baked goods, toothpaste, etc. But several brands of peanut butter now contain these ingredients; so remain aware, & check your ingredient labels before using peanut butter to give your dog his or her meds!
Here’s the problem with these sugar substitutes: a dog’s body THINKS that it’s real sugar, so their body releases insulin, causing their true blood glucose to decrease. This can lead to comas & death.
Symptoms of toxicity can be seen in as little as 30 minutes, and can include lethargy, loss of appetite, diarrhea, incoordination, collapse, and seizures. If you think your pet got into a product containing xylitol/birch sugar, seek immediate veterinary care.
Read more on this by clicking the link below- & as always, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

✨DID YOU KNOW✨ • Dalmatians originated in Croatia (the Dalmatia region 🧐) as a hunting or carriage dog! Their ancestors are thought to be pointers and spotted Great Danes. • Puppies are (typically) born with no spots- they usually appear within the first 10 days! • Dalmatians have a genetic predisposition to deafness, but early breeders did not recognize this & thought them to be an unintelligent breed👂🏼 • The first written information about Dalmatians is from 1375! Stay cool, Denver! 🐶
We only got two months, but they were full of love for her 🖤 Spice managed to work her way into all of our hearts, even during a busy time at the hospital. She started to really come out of her shell, but her TRADEMARK was that purr (listen to the video!)- what an absolute gem of a cat. We wish we could’ve given her longer, but sometimes life isn’t like that. We’ll miss you spicy girl 🌈
Happy Independence Day from Coors Field! We are closed for business today- if your kiddo needs to be seen, we recommend bringing them to VCA Alameda East or VRCC 🐾 Please remember to keep a close eye on your pups tonight- even if they seem calm, fireworks are scary 🎇 Stay safe & have a great day out there, Denver!
Everyone welcome one of the newest members of the Gentle Touch family- sweet Ollie!! He visited us today for some puppy vaccines, and got a bonus hangout with Hobbes- who was *slightly* less thrilled, but a good sport nonetheless 👍🏼 Hope you’re enjoying this beautiful spring day, Denver! ☀️
