Nutritionist’s advice: Peanut butter can be a very healthy treat for dogs but you MUST choose a dog-friendly peanut butter. This means it shouldn’t contain any added sugars, oils, preservatives, flavourings, and absolutely NO xylitol (artificial sweetener). Read the label carefully before you add the peanut butter into the mix.
