If your dog has already eaten peanut butter containing xylitol, call your vet immediately.

Xylitol causes rapid, life-threatening hypoglycemia and liver failure in dogs. Do not wait for symptoms.

Emergency & Safety Tool

Peanut Butter Safety Checker for Dogs

Not all peanut butters are safe for dogs. Xylitol (also listed as birch sugar) is lethal even in small amounts. Check ingredients or look up a known brand.

How would you like to check?

Which of these ingredients does the peanut butter contain?

Check the ingredient list on the jar and tick any that appear. Leave all unchecked if none apply.

If none of the above apply, tap 'Check Safety' — plain peanut butter with only peanuts and no harmful additives is generally safe in moderation.
