Which enzyme breaks down phenylalanine?

What can you do for a dog who eats a pack of gum?

Keep the gum away from the dog and keep it somewhere the dog can't get it and you won't have to worry about the dog eating the gum. If your pet has managed to find some gum and swallow it, take the animal to the vet immediately where they will try to remove the gum - often by making the dog vomit. If the has eaten a very small amount of gum, this may not be needed, but the dog should be under close supervision for the next 24 hours for any changes in behaviour or appetite. However, this does not always work and an ingredient found in gum and Tic-Tacs called xylotol can kill your pet within 30 minutes. So, just keeping your gum away from your dog is the best thing to do. As I always say, the best solution is prevention.
