Can my dog eat peanut butter, peanuts, or crunchy peanut butter?

Hello. I am so glad you checked to make sure the peanut butter did not contain any xylitol. Xylitol can cause a dog's blood sugar to drop dangerously low, so it is important to avoid this. Too much PB for Chewy has the same risk as too much PB for us. It will make you fat. So, try to place no more than a teaspoon in the ball, & not a heaping teaspoon & do this only once a day.

A little bit of peanut butter here and there to encourage your pet to either take special medication or behave at the vet is ok to do. However I wouldn't make it a go-to treat because it is very fattening and can also lead to pancreatitis (inflamed pancreas) over time if it is given in excess. Feeding regular dog treats is a better option. I hope this helps and take care of that fur baby.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While peanuts are not toxic to dogs, they are high in fat and excessive amounts of it may result in dietary indiscretion. However, if Kimi eats them in small amounts and she tolerates it well then she should be just fine. Good luck and have a great day! I hope you find this information helpful.

You are correct. Peanut butter is ok to give your pet Pocholo. However it is fattening so please use your best judgement and not give this all the time or you will surely see an increase in weight and you can end up with an obese pet. Also keep in mind that there are much safer and less caloric dog treats that you can give Pocholo instead. Because remember that peanut butter cracker sandwiches at the grocery are made for people to easily digest, not pets, which can lead to an upset stomach in some cases.

Yes, both of these foods are safe for dogs - there's no reason that you couldn't give them every day, in small amounts as a treat. Just make sure that you're not using a sugar-free brand of peanut butter, as some of these contain xylitol which is toxic for dogs. Most "regular" peanut butter brands are fine :)

Hello. Dogs do enjoy the same peanut butter we eat, but they do make peanut butter treats for dogs, too. If you do give Simba people peanut butter, make sure it does not contain the sugar alcohol xylitol as this is dangerous for dogs. You will only find this in sugar free versions of peanut butter. Otherwise, just give Simba very small amounts because too much peanut butter will make her fat. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Dazey will be fine! If she did not eat a lot, this shouldn't cause any problems. The issue would be if she ate a lot, then that could cause pancreatitis. I'd just watch her to be safe. If you see vomiting, abdominal pain, a hunched up appearance, lethargy, or a loss of appetite, take her into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!
