Safe
Most peanut butter is safe for dogs.
Check the label — avoid any containing xylitol (birch sugar), which is toxic. Choose unsalted, unsweetened varieties.
Caution
Peanut butter should be given sparingly to cats.
Not toxic but high in fat and calories. Some brands contain xylitol which is dangerous. Use only natural, unsweetened varieties in very small amounts.
