Can cats or dogs eat peanut butter?
Cats: Be careful · Dogs: Be careful — Peanut butter with whole nuts or nuts with a pinch of salt. Let it be licked gradually as a reward. But you must read the label every time. This is because some brands of sugar-free peanut butter use xylitol. This causes blood sugar to plummet and liver failure even in small amounts. And peanut butter is also high in fat. Give it often and you'll get fat. Always check the label for the absence of xylitol before giving it if your dog has ingested formula that contains xylitol. It is considered an emergency. Take him to the veterinarian immediately.
