auir Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 ive seen heaps of products that say they are peanut butter flavoured and read that alot people feed there dogs it as a treat in kongs etc, but i have also read that nuts are toxic to dogs over time (apparently the toxins build up over time? i dont know how thats possible thats what it has said on a few sites)...... anyway, is peanut butter safe for dogs and puppies as a once in a while treat in there kong or alike? my BC goes crazy for it when he smells it, but i dont want to give it to him if its not good for him cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra777 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Peanuts are a legume not a nut so peanut butter is fine - moderation in all things though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mademoisellemika Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I gave a teaspoonful to mine, stuffed in a puppy kong. She was only interested in it for 5 minutes! I tried giving it to her a week later and she was not amused one teeny bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjelkier Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 My boys get peanut butter in their kongs sometimes, they love it. Only dont make the mistake I did first and use crunchy peanut butter, makes cleaning it very annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all that glitters Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) can dogs be allergic to peanut butter? kids are often allergic to peanuts when they are young... is it the same for dogs? I'd say it could be! If the peanuts are an allergen for them Edited June 1, 2009 by Shellectra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
