Safe (Check the Label!)
Peanut butter is a favorite treat for many dogs. It is an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, and vitamins B and E. It is often used to hide pills or fill puzzle toys.
⚠️ Critical Warning: Xylitol
Some “sugar-free” or “low-calorie” peanut butters contain Xylitol (sometimes listed as Birch Sugar). Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs and can cause liver failure. ALWAYS check the ingredients list before giving peanut butter to your dog.
Safe Consumption
- Stick to unsalted, natural peanut butter.
- Moderation is key due to high fat content (too much can cause pancreatitis).
