Sugar Substitutes Still Not Sweet for Pets!
If treating a (human) sweetie this year, please be careful of any dangerous plants or chocolates within your pet's reach.

Of special risk to pets are gums or candies sweetened with the not-so-sweet sugarish alternative known as xylitol.

Check out my handy choco-chart, based on toxicity information from Dog Owner's Digest.
