If you meant the sweetener erythritol, it is not toxic to dogs. Xylitol is the sweetener that is very toxic to dogs. If it is very hot or humid out, keep walks short. A 10-15. Inure walk is fine. Monitor Quinton for excessive panting, lethargy or lameness. Let him be your guide. A good exercise for dogs with arthritis is swimming. It is low impact and will keep him cool.
