The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "Paws Off Act of 2025," is to protect dogs from the harmful effects of xylitol, a sugar substitute that can be toxic to them. The law aims to ensure that any food products containing xylitol carry clear warnings about its dangers for dogs if ingested. Key provisions of the law require that any food containing xylitol must include a warning label that specifies the toxic effects of xylitol on dogs. If a food product does not have this warning, it will be considered misbranded under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
