Although peanut butter is a popular ingredient for many dog treat recipes, the salted peanuts that you enjoy aren’t actually that great for your dog. Dogs can eat peanuts, but the only safe kind for them is dry-roasted unsalted peanuts. It’s also important to limit your dog’s peanut intake to a few peanuts at a time and avoid making them an everyday treat.
Peanuts are not considered toxic to dogs, so your dog will be fine if they happen to eat a salted peanut here and there by accident. However, in large quantities, peanuts can be harmful, especially if they are flavored or salted. It’s also important to make sure you remove peanut shells completely as these are a choking hazard and are particularly dangerous for small dogs.
