Monitor at home
Watch your pet closely for the next 24 hours. If vomiting, weakness or unusual behaviour appears, call us on +853 6677 6611.
Signs to watch for
- Soft stool from fat
- Weakness or collapse only if it contained xylitol
What to do
Check the label first: if it lists xylitol or E967, call us immediately. Regular peanut butter in small amounts only needs monitoring.
Macau note
Many imported low-sugar peanut butters in Macau shops now use xylitol. Read the label before using it to hide pills.
