Some peanut butters are using a sweetener called Xylitol. From the article
As of now Nuts ’N More - the peanut butter with this sweetener - does not have a warning label.
Scary.
I thought you meant xylitol wasn’t listed as an ingredient, which would be even more alarming, but it is. You must mean there’s no dog-specific warning.
While a dog-specific warning would be better, reading ingredients and looking up what you don’t know is your best defense.
This stuff is apparently isn’t even peanut butter, it’s peanut-butter-flavored spread.
Why are people even thinking of feeding this stuff to dogs?
I for one sure don’t want to see all people food someday labeled with dog-specific, cat-specific, gerbil-specific, etc., warnings.
Well, you know. Dogs. Peanut butter. They lick it off anything. AN-NY-thing.
This thread made it to 4 posts before going there. You people disappoint me.
Yeah, because no dog ever has eaten anything that it wasn’t specifically fed.
Well, clearly we need legislation to require all label warnings are also written in dog.
Because the easiest way to pill a lot of dogs is to shove the med into a bit of peanut butter sandwich or a chunk of Velveeta ™.
I hate peanut butter, so I go the Velveeta route.
I’ve bought dog toothpaste with peanut butter flavor, and we stick peanut butter inside her chew bones.
My wife is a biologist who does medical writing and she was unaware that xylitol was dangerous. I wouldn’t have a clue. We certainly are aware of what dogs can’t eat - chocolate, tomatoes, but you’d think peanut butter was safe. It might appeal to those who have their dog on a diet.
Nice username/post combo! 
Getting worried, wolfman?
They make peanut butter flavored dog biscuits, too.
If you have a dog who gets in trouble when bored, one thing you can do is shove peanut butter into a kong, or similar toy, to keep them busy for more than a few minutes of trying to lick it all out of there. My dog gives up on trying to get solid treats, but can’t leave the peanut butter alone. Peanut butter gives a hit of protein with the first lick then draws them in as it gets harder and harder to reach while still smelling like it’s right there, just a little further . . . almost . . . almost.
Yeah, peanut butter, along with cheese and cut-up hot dogs, is one of the standard dog treats, in my experience. One can note that by how many peanut butter flavored dog snacks there are. Our dog goes through a regular sized jar of peanut butter in about 6-8 weeks.
Why would anyone buy peanut butter with sweetener in it? My peanut butter has two ingredients: peanuts and salt.
Quoted for truth.
Jif and Skippy are still the largest selling peanut butters. Lots of sugar and hydrogenated oils there.
While this stuff is getting some coverage over xylitol content, there’s still not enough warning about the real danger to dogs - ingestion of mints and gum that contain xylitol. That’s the really deadly stuff. Dogs eat whole packages of gum and can die within a day. So far from what I’ve seen, that’s the worst culprit. It’s the single food item I’ve seen dogs actually die from.
Yep, just go with the basics, while avoiding anything for dogs labeled “Made in China”.
Because most Americans like it sweet and that’s what we grew up with? And if you’re speaking for dogs, well, me and the dog share our peanut butter. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but I don’t like the natural stuff except for cooking. On sandwiches, I want my sweetened peanut butter & crisco spread!
Thank you for the Melissa Manchester earworm; it’s groovy.
Know what to kiss, and when.
I always think of my deity as a cosmic muffin.
Only thing I will quibble with - my dog never gets enough cheese. According to her, at least.
