Its important to protect our furry friends from what could harm them and one way to do that is to avoid products that contain xylitol which is much more toxic to dogs than chocolate.
Peanut butter labeled as low-sugar or sugar-free often contains xylitol because manufacturers use xylitol as a healthy sugar substitute.
About five peanut butter brands are known to contain xylitol including Nuts 'N More Go Nuts Co. Krush Nutrition Protein Plus PB and P28 Foods. All of these nut butter brands are healthy for humans since xylitol has many health benefits so it is okay if your favorite brand is one of them. Do not give those to your dog though.
Xylitol is not only found in peanut butter; in fact chewing gum especially sugar-free gum such as Icebreakers and Trident is the most common cause of xylitol poisoning in dogs. Make sure you keep all xylitol-containing products out of your dogs reach.
