TIPS:
- Some dogs have peanut allergies, so make sure your dog can eat peanuts safely before giving them any peanut butter. Some signs of a peanut allergy are red/itchy skin, repeated head shaking, and foot licking.
- Avoid giving your dog peanut butter on a spoon. Peanut butter can be especially sticky and avoiding spoons could save your dog from choking or damaging their teeth.
- Peanut butter is high in fat, so do not mistake peanut butter as a completely “healthy” treat for your dog. Give them this delicious treat sparingly.
- Stuff a Kong toy with peanut butter for hours of enjoyment for your dog.
- Toy Tip: Stuff your Kong toy with peanut butter and then put it in the freezer before giving it to your canine. It makes the peanut butter last longer!
Try the Kong Toy or the Extreme Kong for bigger dogs!
- Choose creamy peanut butter to further avoid choking hazards. This is especially important for smaller dogs.
- Peanut butter can be a handy tool to get your dogs to take their medicine. Simply bury their pill(s) in a gob of peanut butter and watch them happily take their meds!
- Make sure you select a healthy peanut butter to give to your dog. Avoid brands with added salt, sugar, or preservatives. The healthier the peanut butter, the healthier it is for your pooch!
- Peanut butter contains vitamin E, which can improve your dog’s skin.
