Can Labs eat peanut butter?

By · Updated

Short answer

Yes, if it contains no xylitol. Plain peanut butter is safe for most dogs in small amounts, but read the label every time: xylitol, also sold as birch sugar, can cause dangerously low blood sugar and liver failure in dogs. One tablespoon has about 96 calories, so use it sparingly.
