Dog Peanut Butter

Yes, but not all peanut butter is created equal. Some human peanut butter brands contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs and can cause rapid drops in blood sugar, making your pup very unwell. Regular peanut butter can also be high in fat, added salt and sugar, which aren't great for dogs either.
The good news is that dog-specific peanut butter, like the options in our Dog Peanut Butter collection is made with dog-safe ingredients and no harmful additives. For example, Peamutt Butter is a natural peanut butter with no added salt or sugar and Big Spoon Roasters Wag Butter is handcrafted with fresh-roasted peanuts, organic chia seeds and organic coconut oil for a nutritional boost. Always choose a peanut butter that's been formulated for dogs so you can treat with confidence.

Peanut butter is a treat, so it's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. As a general guide, a teaspoon to a tablespoon a few times per week works well, depending on your dog's size. Smaller dogs should stick to the lower end, while larger breeds can handle a little more. Just remember that treatsl, including peanut butter, should complement your dog's meals rather than replace them, so keep an eye on overall calorie intake, particularly if you're using it daily in enrichment toys. For ideas on how to make the most of it, take a look at our lick mats, Pupsicle toys and dog treat dispensers, all perfect for turning peanut butter into a longer-lasting, enriching activity.
