Warning as Cambridgeshire dog in chewing gum near-death drama

Dog owners are being warned not to leave chewing gum where pets can find it after a spaniel nearly died when he ate tablets containing a sweetener that is toxic to canines.

Ollie, a four-year-old English Springer Spaniel, ate gum containing xylitol at his home in Stretham, Cambridgeshire.

That's horrible, I used to have a cat that would pick my jacket pockets for mint gum. Perhaps we were just lucky she didn't eat enough to make her sick.

I always checked the underside of seats especially in train carriages as the dogs would always look for it. Yuk!!
