FAQs

1. Can dogs eat peanut butter?

   The right peanut butter is an excellent addition to your pet's diet. It provides protein and healthy fat to a dog's food intake. Healthy fats help the body to absorb specific vitamins, such as A, D, E, and K. When fats and oils are part of your dog's food, then their coat will be shinier too.
   
   However, there is peanut butter that is suitable for dogs, and there is peanut butter that can cause a lot of harm. Too much sugar, salt, or artificial sweeteners in food can have damaging effects on your furbaby's wellness.

2. How much peanut butter can dogs eat?

   Your giant breed can handle more peanut butter than your toy poodle. Small breeds (under 25 pounds) should never have more than half to one tablespoon of peanut butter per day. Larger dogs (over 25 pounds) should get no more than two tablespoons a day.

3. How do you give your dogs peanut butter?

   A TikTok user's video recently went viral when she used peanut butter to distract her dog so she could clip his nails. With a forehead of clingwrap and peanut butter smeared on it, Linds Shelton shared her clever hack. While this idea is genius, spreading nut butter on your head might not be your idea of fun, even if it does get Fido to sit still for grooming.

4. Does the Calm Peanut Butter have Xylitol?

   With humans on a mission to avoid sugar, the use of xylitol in peanut butter, other foods, and household goods are on the rise. The artificial sweetener looks and tastes like sugar, but has fewer calories and won't cause a hike in human blood sugar levels. For dogs, however, xylitol poisoning is a real danger and can be fatal.
   
   Xylitol is rapidly absorbed into your dog's bloodstream, resulting in a potent release of insulin from the canine pancreas. Xylitol poisoning symptoms to look out for include vomiting, weakness, diarrhea, lack of coordination, seizures, and a general decrease in activity due to low blood sugar levels. Contact your vet, emergency clinic, or animal poison control center if you have any concerns about your pet's behavior.
