11 Yummy Peanut Butter Recipes Your Dog Can't Resist

It's no secret that doggos love peanut butter just as much as their parents. While your fur-baby might love a little bit of PB, try not to give your canine too much, as peanut butter is high in fat and will make them pile on the pounds in no time.

This artificial sweetener is toxic to dogs and is most commonly used in highly-processed peanut butter. To avoid xylitol, opt for all-natural peanut butter, and always check the ingredients list.
