Just a warning: the new sugar substitute Xylitol is poisonous to dogs: one teaspoon will kill a German Shepherd, this advice has come from veterinary surgeons. It is also in some processed foods/candies and sweets, especially sugar free and diabetic foods, so please be aware, it acts like giving a dog insulin and there is no antidote. So if you have 2 teaspoons in you tea/coffee, and the dog drinks it, you have a serious problem on your hands.
