rsieg Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Two questions: (1) Does anyone else's dog REALLY like peanut butter? Max is nuts about it (pun intended :-) to the point where he will actually come over and stare at me when I am eating a PB&J sandwich. I think he might actually like it more than meat. Logan will eat it, but more like eh, its ok. (2) Any downside to it? I am giving him maybe a spoonful in the evening, but it is getting to the point that he insists on it every evening. I do go with the au natural version, with the oil on top. Too much? (I do know not to give him grape jelly).

greysmom Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 As long as there's no xylotol or other fake sugar, it's OK for a healthy dog to have some. You don't want to overdo it because of the added fats. Lots of dogs get peanut butter-filled Kongs every day with no issues. One of mine does love her peanut butter much more than meat! The only thing she likes better than peanut butter is cheese!

Hubcitypam Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Mine have always had bites of my PB&Js (with light jelly) with no ill effects but have never obsessed over them. Tuna salad is the only thing I've ever had lock myself in another room to eat. I think you're good to go with a tablespoon or so a day.

mom2four Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Our galgo pup gets a PB kong every day. One caution: When our tripod Jamey was recovering from his amputation we gave him some Life Saving meatballs for some weight gain, they contain PB. With the first batch he peed so often until I figured out the PB had salt in it. I switched to non salt PB and the problem was solved.

dken105 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 BeBe, my greyt friend, is absolutely crazy about Peanut Butter. Every evening she gets a Kong with Jiff Creamy PB in it as her treat. She starts reminding us about 7PM by staring and yipping at us as we watch Jeopardy. She never tires of this routine and it seems to agree with her. No digestive problems!

juliemac Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Baby used to notice when I forgot to put the peanut butter jar away, and she'd grab it off the counter, unscrew the lid, and eat all the peanut butter she could reach. Before she passed away last October, she taught Riley the trick (who demonstrated it a few weeks ago). I use whatever's cheap, although I do try to avoid PBs that have a lot of sugar (or other fats) in them. When I run out of other prepared options (like frozen Kongs), I'll give the pups a 'to go' cup as their treat when I leave for work. That's as much peanut butter that I'm willing to give a hound, since I don't want a case of pancreatitis on my hands. (1 ToGo cup is probably the amount of peanut butter that I use in 3 Kongs). This past 3 weeks, Riley would only eat peanut butter, Ensure, and ice cream ... his pancreas levels were slightly elevated from the disproportionately high fat content in his diet, but not enough to cause the vet any concern. Hope that gives you enough info to make decisions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feisty49 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Poppy dislikes peanut butter, she'd prefer a frozen carrot. This is so cute. I thought every dog loved PB. My girl won't go near veggies. Annie LOVES PB. She gets about a tablespoon each morning into which I squish a pill she takes every day. She'd take the pill even if it were just dipped in PB, that's how much she loves the stuff. I use the PB I buy for myself and over the course of the jar, she eats more than I do.

bradymom Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Peanut butter is one of Brady's favorite things. I give him bites when ever I have PBJ. I watch how much I give him cause sometimes he gets leave the room gas. About twice a year I give him an empty jar to lick the sides, he loves it. Quote The handsome boy Brady, mid-morning nap.

Jerilyn Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Lila will eat peanut butter, but I think she does not like the feeling of it on her tongue. After she eats some she will lick her leg or blanket or bed - I assume to clean her tongue. Quote Jerilyn, missing Lila (Good Looking), new Mistress to Wiki (PJ Wicked).

I use whatever's cheap, although I do try to avoid PBs that have a lot of sugar (or other fats) in them. I thought Monty was the only one stupid (and gluttonous) enough to eat an entire jar of peanut butter! I'm a lot more careful now, because although Monty looked like he wanted to die after eating about 2 cups of peanut butter, I know he would do it again in a moment. He had no ill effects, other than looking like he felt miserable and not being hungry for dinner that night. I expected noxious gas emissions and horrible poop, but everything was fine. (The poop *did* smell like peanut butter, though. Kind of killed my appetite for it for a while...which was fine since we had none!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 FYI, I'm guessing the actual grape content of grape jelly is about zero, so I wouldn't worry much about that. My mixed breed dog had peanut butter every day for 12 years. George had peanut butter every day for about 7 years until I decided maybe the sugar was contributing to his pee problem. My Buck doesn't have SA, so he doesn't need a daily Kong, but he does love to lick the jar when I have one. He adores almond butter too! Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

GreyhoundGirl Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The Twin Terrors love PB. They don't get it often but thy love it. I'm greatly amused when my father visits and he has to make sure he doesn't have the "dog jar" of PB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KarenD Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Ours LOVE it. We limit treats though. Works greyt with meds. Real fun is saving the "almost gone" containers in the freezer, then come summer, we throw it out in the backyard and watch the fun!!! Keeps them occupied for a long time. They clean that jar better than a Rubbermaid scraper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Noosh Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Loving the tips on PB! Our 19 month old Emma has been with us for 6 weeks now. Have only used it so far with Kong treats. It's taken a few weeks for Emma to get a 'taste' for it, but she is really happy for a long session on her outside bed with a PB Kong. It allows me time to slip out of the house without the theatrics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
