Is it safe for my Shih Tzu puppy to eat peanut butter and sardines?

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.

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 :)

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.

They can have those items, just in moderation. Make sure the peanut butter does not contain xylitol. Limit honey and peanut butter to prevent stomach upset or excess weight gain. Oatmeal should be cooked first and not have any added flavors or sweeteners.

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.

Peanut butter is fine in small amounts. Too much fat causes pancreatitis in dogs. Never give Chance sugar free peanut butter, as it may contain xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs. As for peanuts, they are fine in small amount, but again they are high in fat. Crunchy peanut butter is fine, small amounts. I hope this helps Ron!

Peanut butter is not toxic and can be fed as an occasional treat to dogs. It's also good for hiding pills in if you ever need to medicate your dog. As long as your dog does not have an intolerance to peanut butter, there is no concern for feeding it. If you notice that Bear is vomiting or having diarrhea, then it will be best not to feed it. I hope that helps and all is well with Bear.
