Is too much peanut butter harmful for my dog, even without xylitol?

Xylitol would be clearly labeled on the Ingredients label. I do not see xylitol on this label. I just cannot see the rest of the jar, so if it doesn't have xylitol written on it, it should be safe for Hachi. Typically the natural peanut butters are the one that contain the xylitol in it. It is always recommend to check any label before giving anything to your dog since multiple different things can have xylitol in it.

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!

As long as Scooby doesn’t have any medical conditions like pancreatitis I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Peanut butter without xylitol is not toxic, and although the one episode of vomiting may be related or you may see diarrhea it should be self limiting. If Scooby continues to vomit however you should see your vet.

No - there is nothing in peanut butter that should cause seizures, as long as the brand you're using does not contain xylitol. It's more likely that the seizures were due to the same underlying neurologic problem that has caused his previous seizures.

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.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If you have the packaging see if it tells you how many milligrams (mg) of xylitol it contains or you can call the company and ask. Bentley would have had to ingest 2410mg of xylitol for it to be a toxic dose. I doubt that him licking a basically empty container would have enough to harm him. But it isn't wrong to double check. Good luck!
