Lots of things that are fine for humans are toxic to dogs. Bad things for
dogs are chocolate (especially dark), grapes, raisins, onions, Tylenol, and
yes Xylitol, among other things. Stevia is OK.

Have you tried stevia? This is natural and the FDA refuses to approve
it as a sweetener. For me that is a good recommendation.
If you have a dog, xylitol is toxic, so be careful.

Has anyone tried erythritol as a calorie free sweetener? Looks
interesting, expecially since it is not artificial, but a naturally
occurring sweetner.

Marshall,
I don't think there's any "free ride" with sweeteners. Dr. Jerry
Tennant says to avoid all sweeteners with "tol" in them, and I tend to agree
with him. They are toxic to the body.
I do use xylitol, however, as a mouthwash.
