Did you know?
Twix was introduced in the United Kingdom in 1967 by Mars under the name Raider before being renamed Twix in 1991 for the global market. The name Twix combines Twin and Stix referring to the two cookie sticks in each package. The left Twix vs right Twix marketing campaign launched in 2012 was purely fictional — both bars are made identically on the same production line.

What You Need to Know
Twix bars combine three problematic components for dogs. The milk chocolate coating contains theobromine toxic to dogs. The caramel filling is extremely high in sugar with a sticky consistency that adheres to teeth and gums. The shortbread biscuit adds refined flour and more sugar. The caloric density and sugar content make Twix one of the more harmful candy bars for dogs even beyond the chocolate component. A dog that has eaten Twix should be monitored and a vet called if the dog is small or the amount was significant.
