A Heartbreaking Loss: A Warning for All Pet Owners
Samantha Carress lost her Golden Retriever, Luna, to a preventable cause hidden in everyday products.
✔ Luna’s death was due to Xylitol, a deadly sugar substitute. ✔ Xylitol was in something as common as lemon-flavored gum. ✔ Within hours, Luna’s liver failed, and despite an emergency attempt, she passed away.
What Makes Xylitol Dangerous?
Xylitol is found in many household items, and even a small amount can cause severe liver failure in dogs.
✔ It’s in sugar-free gum, baked goods, peanut butter, candies, and more. ✔ It goes by names like “birch sugar” or “wood sugar.” ✔ Poisoning cases have increased by 3,000% in the past decade.
Samantha’s Mission
After Luna’s death, Samantha became vigilant:
✔ She reads labels and keeps Xylitol out of her home. ✔ She shares Luna’s story to raise awareness and prevent similar losses.
A Critical Warning for Pet Owners
✔ Inspect your home for Xylitol-containing products. ✔ Keep these items locked away from pets.
Samantha’s regret was not knowing sooner. Now, she’s spreading the word—Xylitol is deadly, but awareness can save lives.
