Tips

Some brands of peanut butter are using xylitol as an ingredient. Xylitol is toxic to dogs, so please be sure you avoid products with this ingredient. To keep your dog safe and healthy, try making your own nut butter! This way you can avoid feeding your dog unnecessary preservative and added salt and sugar.
