Dogs and peanut butter: a golden combination or a sneaky culprit? π₯
If there's one thing that makes most dogs drool, it's peanut butter! But did you know that not all peanut butter is safe for your four-legged friend? That jar from the supermarket isn't always dog-friendly. Luckily, there is special dog peanut butter that is completely responsible. But what exactly is the difference? Time to take a closer look! π
What's actually in regular peanut butter?
Most peanut butter from the supermarket is made for humans and often contains ingredients that can be less healthy (or even dangerous!) for dogs. Think of:
β Salt β Too much salt can lead to dehydration and even kidney problems in dogs.
β Sugar & Sweeteners β Some peanut butter varieties contain added sugars or β even worse β xylitol. Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs and can be life-threatening even in small amounts.
β Palm Oil & Preservatives β Many commercial peanut butters contain palm oil, which is not only bad for the environment, but can also cause stomach upset in some dogs.
In short, what is a tasty and creamy treat for us can be quite unhealthy for our furry friends.
