A vet has issued a warning to pet owners ahead of Halloween this year after a young dog almost died from eating dangerous human treats. Oak the adorable two-year-old Labrador was nearly killed when he snuck into his owner's car while it was being unloaded with festive goodies.
The pooch tore open several boxes of Halloween sweets and wolfed down dozens of peppermints containing 100 percent xylitol - a sugar alcohol that is incredibly toxic to dogs. Within minutes, Oak took a bad turn and began suffering from uncontrollable seizures with dangerously low blood glucose levels, the Daily Record reports.
