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.

Orbit gum does have xylem in a way. There is a natural occurring sugar alcohol created from xylem called xylitol. It is used as a sugar substitute for sugar free gums.
Don't know off the top of my head, but I can tell you what makes the best demonstration of an endothermic reaction, and that's chewing a piece of sugar free gum that uses Xylitol as the sweetener. Xylitol and Erythtritol, both sugar alcohols, have a cooling sensation when dissolved in water in the saliva.
They make mint flavored treats for dogs. Do NOT give them anything sugar free as the substitute eg xylitol is lethal to dogs
Yes. A few include Sugar Free Glee Gum and Epic Xylitol Gum. Unfortunately these aren't readily available.
Don't give gum to your dogs at all. All types are bad for them.

There are several sugar free sweeteners on the market. Many of the artificial sweeteners contain ingredients that are known to cause cancer. For this reason I would recommend Stevia sweetener. Stevia is derived from the Stevia plant which has a natural sweetness. The sweetener is sugar free and also zero calorie.
yes he will be ok since there r no harmful chemicals :)
