P-nut butter question

[Charlies Mamma]

I see allot of moms give their yorkie p-nut butter but Charlie has no interest in it... is this normal? And on that same note is the protein in P-nut butter dangerous to MVD/shunt babies. Just curious

I think the fat content would be of concern for MVD/shunt doggies.

My boys don't do well with peanut butter. I would rather give them other things anyway.

Some dogs just don't like PB, either the taste or the consistency may bother them. Also some dogs are allergic to nuts. I'd have to check on it being okay for MVD/LS dogs..

See I didnt think about the fat............. Charlie knows better than I do, he is probably thinking... why is mamma trying to make me eat this?????? Geesh

I was always under the impression that peanut butter was bad for dogs?

Smart boy. I don't have first-hand experience with MVD, but I would be very strict with diet.

It isn't necessarily bad, but it is high in fat, and may contain a lot of salt and sugar depending on the brand. Some dogs may be allergic to it too.

A tiny bit gave Max diarrhea, so I never used it again.

Well to be honest when Im thinking protein I am thinking MEAT and I was making myself a sandwich the other days and noticed the "protein" on the ingredient label and I thought to myself hmmmmm.. I knew YT would have the answer LOL

with that info I guess Abby's not getting pb

I use it to give pills sometimes. Huey loves pb, as long as it is not around a pill.

I think it's just an individual taste thing, although I wouldn't give it to Charlie, with MVD issues.

I give both of mine little licks off of my finger tip occassionaly (just last night, actually). They never get too much, though. As mentioned, it is high fat.

I admit that I am really conservative with food for the dogs.

I was going to stuff a Kong toy with some...when I took the lid off the half used jar (Jiff, creamy) it had about 2 tablespoonfuls of flat out oil, floating on the top of the peanut butter.........when I saw that, all I could think of for my dog, was DIARRHEA!!!!!! So, I do not give it to my dogs.

We don't do p/b with our girls either.
