Question

Will peanut butter hurt dogs?

Answer 1

• A little bit of xylitol-free peanut butter for your dog will likely be perfectly fine  overdo it though, and you can give your dog a nasty (as well as painful and expensive) case of pancreatitis and/or contribute to obesity.

Answer 2

Generally speaking, any peanut butter that doesn't contain xylitol (or chocolate) should be fine for a dog.

It can be a good source of protein and healthy fat for your dog  in moderation, of course.

However, some peanut butters are healthier than others.

Xylitol is technically an "all natural" sweetener!
