Peanut butter can be a tasty treat for dogs, but it’s essential to be mindful of a few factors to ensure their safety and well-being.
In general, plain, unsalted peanut butter that doesn’t contain xylitol—a sugar substitute that can be toxic to dogs—is safe for most dogs to enjoy in moderation.
However, it’s crucial to check the ingredients list carefully, as some peanut butter brands may contain additives or sweeteners that aren’t suitable for dogs.

Dogs love peanut butter, but not all kinds are safe for them. Some peanut butter has a sweetener called xylitol, which is very harmful to dogs. Even a little bit can make them very sick or even cause death. Always check the label before giving your dog peanut butter. If it has xylitol, don’t give it to them. If your dog eats something with xylitol, call the vet right away and tell them what happened.
Like any treat, give peanut butter to dogs in small amounts and with their regular food.

Yes, dogs can consume peanut butter, and many of them actually love it. But take caution, some varieties of peanut butter have a chemical called xylitol, which is harmful to dogs and can be lethal even in little doses. Artificial sweetener xylitol is frequently added to food products to maintain their sugar free status.
