Can Dogs Eat Peanut Butter?

Most peanut butter is safe, but avoid xylitol-containing brands.

Use caution when feeding dogs peanut butter

Details

Plain, unsalted peanut butter without xylitol (birch sugar) is generally safe for dogs in moderation and is a good source of protein and healthy fats. However, some peanut butter brands contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is extremely toxic to dogs and can cause hypoglycaemia and liver failure. Always check the ingredients list before giving peanut butter to your dog. Also limit quantities as peanut butter is calorie-dense and too much can lead to weight gain or pancreatitis.
