Dogs can eat and enjoy peanut butter in moderation. It's important NOT to feed your dog some peanut butter brands that contain an ingredient called xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. We would always advise to check all peanut butter labels before feeding your dog and ensure there is no xylitol in the ingredients list.

We've been fortunate to have worked with the local Department of International Trade, Business West, SWMAS, Innovate2Succeed and more.
