[Dailydrool] Activia and dogs--a response to "food problems?"

Recently I picked up some Activia and ending up throwing it in the garbage: I missed out on the fact that it has Splenda (xylitol) in it, which I am sensitive to. Not a few humans are, according to what I found on the Web about that time.

It's not good for the houndies either:

However, you can use other yogurts, just read the ingredients to make sure there are no artificial sweeteners in them. I buy the store-brand where I shop, which is reasonably priced and well suited for the hounds, since they have low-fat/no-fat versions. But you must CAREFULLY read the ingredients to be sure that it's not artificially sweetened. You can also look for the Splenda logo on the container.

Gotta keep those houndies safe!
