Peanut butter?

[cefe13]

Now and then I see references to peanut butter, and I'd just like to check if that is ordinary peanut butter? I have a jar of Skippy crunchy peanut butter - is that safe for dogs?

I am guessing that the best peanut butter for them would be ALL natural-most of them like Skippy all add sugar. I don't even like any except the no sugar kind, because they taste too sweet. If you are just using it to give a pill, I am sure the skippy wouldn't hurt-I myself have given pills in regular PB-but in larger amounts-I'd go "natural"(no sugar,etc.)

Oh, you're right; I now see that there's sugar in the one we've got. I didn't even think of that - was just thinking of the peanut content. I was going to use it to make his bones a bit more fun for him, so I will get an all-natural type. Thanks for your response!

It is very easy to make your own peanut butter your self and that way you know whats in it.

Yup, we make our own peanut butter. It's easy and I like knowing that nothing is added. I was appalled when I started reading all the junk they put in the major brands.

Many thanks for your suggestions but I'm not sure I could get natural peanuts here - most shops only sell salted ones!

[MENTION=9875]cefe13[/MENTION], here at Whole Foods, they have plain peanuts (unflavored, unsalted) that is attached to a grinder, so you decide how much you want and you catched the peanut butter transformation to a container. Voila. - No added sugar, no other ingredients but just plain ol' peanut butter.

Wow, that sounds like a smart idea!
