Peanuts and Dogs: What Every Pet Owner Should Know

January 26, 2024 1 min read

As a pet owner, it's natural to want to share your favorite snacks with your furry friend. However, when it comes to peanuts, it's important to exercise caution. While plain, unsalted peanuts can be a good source of protein and healthy fats for dogs, there are certain risks associated with feeding them to your canine companion. First and foremost, some dogs may be allergic to peanuts, so introducing this food into their diet can lead to adverse reactions such as itching, swelling, or gastrointestinal upset. Furthermore, peanuts can be a choking hazard, especially for small dogs or those prone to gulping their food. Additionally, many commercially available peanuts are coated in salt or other seasonings that can be harmful to dogs in large quantities. For these reasons, it's crucial to consult with your veterinarian before incorporating peanuts into your dog's diet. If approved by your vet, it's best to offer unsalted and shelled peanuts in moderation as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of their meals.
