Notes
*Please double check the ingredients to ensure that the peanut butter does not contain xylitol, which can be toxic to dogs. Most peanut butters do not contain this, but always double-check the ingredient list just to be safe. Just as a precaution, also please be aware of any allergies your dog may have before feeding, it can’t hurt to check with a vet first!
