Yes, it can. It causes a serious drop in blood sugar and may also cause liver damage. If a dog ingest it, you should take your dog to the vet immediately--or at least all the vet for advice.

My Miniature Dachshund ate EXTRA spearmint gum. I was worried but she is okay and she is a small dog. It will give your dog a sore stomach and possibly diarea! It does not have Xylitol in it, so that will probably help. P'S I know that anyone can put in an answer but this is true, don't worry! If your dog is not doing better the next day, rush her to the vet!

What are the Symptoms of xylitol poisoning?

As xylitol (tree sugar) ingestion may induce hypoglycemia in dogs (low blood sugar), the symptoms for hypoglycemia are the ones you'll look for, such as lack of coordination, seizures, vomiting, sudden drop in energy collapse, etc. Xylitol can do liver damage to dogs as well, and it doesn't appear to be related to the dose. Because of this you should immediately take the dog to a veterinarian if you think he's had any xylitol. The most common source of xylitol for a dog is sugar-free gum, but there are other sugar-free human foods that have xylitol in them.
