Artificial sweeteners can be deadly to dogs.
Tele is a 7-month-old Golden Retriever who loves treats. So, when 2-year-old Jordan started feeding her mints, she loved it.

"I was standing right there as my 2-year-old is handing one mint for him, one mint for me type of game and it was literally six mints later that we started seeing signs," said Lindsey Davis, Jordan's mom.  Within 15 minutes of eating six mints, Tele was having seizures and vomiting.
