I'm sorry, but without more details, such as the specific manufacturer you're asking about, I am unable to answer your question about any particular tablet, since the inactive ingredients may differ from one manufacturer to another.

However, what I can tell you is that dogs cannot have the artificial sweetener Xylitol, it is toxic to them. Others, however, are generally considered safe in small amounts, but it should be noted that Sucralose, and a couple others, may cause diarrhea or GI upset, in our canine friends.

Ref: AKC Artificial Sweetener Safety

The best advice I can give is to double check the ingredients, before dosing your pup, and if in doubt, ask your pharmacist.

Is there anything else I can help with?
