Safety Tips

Is Peanut Butter Safe for Dogs?

Yes, peanut butter is generally safe for dogs to eat in moderation. However, there are a few important caveats to keep in mind.

Avoid Xylitol

First, avoid peanut butters containing xylitol. This artificial sweetener is toxic to dogs. Always check the ingredients list carefully.

Choose Natural Options

Choose natural, unsalted peanut butter without added sugars or artificial sweeteners. These are the safest options for your dog.

Moderation is Key

Peanut butter is high in fat and calories. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and pancreatitis in dogs. Give it in moderation.

Watch for Allergies

Some dogs may have peanut allergies. Introduce peanut butter slowly and watch for any adverse reactions.

Safer Peanut Butter Options for Dogs

Natural Peanut Butters

Unsalted, natural peanut butters with just peanuts and maybe salt as the only ingredients are ideal.

Dog-Specific Peanut Butters

Peanut butters specifically made for dogs don't contain xylitol or other additives.

Homemade Peanut Butter

You can make peanut butter at home by grinding peanuts in a food processor. This ensures no harmful additives are included.

Recommended Brands

Some dog-safe peanut butter brands recommended by experts include:

  • Whole Foods 365

  • Trader Joe's unsalted

  • Teddie Super Chunky

  • Poochie Dog Peanut Butter

In moderation, plain peanut butter can be a tasty treat for most dogs. Just avoid xylitol-containing brands and excessive portions to keep your pup safe and healthy.
