Does anyone out there know if peanut butter (crunchy of not) good for puppys. Please write back and let me know.

What about fruits?

thanks

Peanut butter is fine. Only small amounts though, because large blobs can be a choking hazard.

Fruit is okay in small amounts. Grapes are not - no grapes they are deadly to dogs.
Watermelon, apple, banana, pineapple,- okay.

You don't say how young the puppy is though. I would not give peanut butter to a puppy under about 4-5 months because of the choking problem.

I put a thin coating of peanut butter on the inside of a marrow bone or kong- they don't need a lot to keep them interested. And I buy all natural, unsalted stuff.

Be carefull of using peanut butter in Kongs. There have been dogs that have choked to death in my area. I didn't believe it when I first heard it, but my Vet confirmed it.

Got it NO GRAPES. I'm glad someone mentioned it b/c I have a friend who used to feed it to her akita for years and the dog was just fine. But she wanted to start giving my baby grapes as well. Now I know NO GRAPES. So I guess giving them fruits instead of milk bones and other dog treats is better for them? Please advise. Cheyenne is now 15 weeks old. 27 lbs. I just took her to the vet today for her rabies shot. She was such a good girl. According to the vet she's gonna be a big girl.

I usually let my dogs have a fingerfull of peanut butter and I put it behind their upper teeth so they have to lick it off from there....Grace got to try it for the first time this week!!

I think it's kind of cruel to put peanut butter inside of a marrow bone or kong, etc.

That's very frustrating for a dog.

I have always put peanut butter in a kong, but have always made sure that it is mixed with kibble to prevent choking. I only use enough peanut butter so that the kibble sticks together.
