Benefits of Peanut Butter for Dogs

We all know how much pets love peanut butter and how easy and good it is to add as an enrichment treat, but do you know the benefits and positives of adding peanut butter into your diet?

Protein in Peanut Butter

Is it important and imperative to ensure that your pet is on a high-protein diet to ensure that they their immune system is being supported but that they are able to have healthy muscle repair while building muscles. 

Peanut Butter has Healthy Fats for Dogs

Healthy fats are not only an important part of your pets diet but can also be beneficial for pets who suffer from itchy, dry or irritated skin. Although we do not recommend peanut butter being apart of your pets daily diet we do recommend it once a week to ensure they are getting some healthy fats in.

Vitamin B3 for Dogs

Are you giving your pet Vitamin B3? Or have any idea on what it is and how it is beneficial for your pet? Well we are pleased to let you know that not only is Vitamin B3 good for pets but it helps break down any sugars and fats and turn them into energy, this especially helps keep older pets going for longer. Vitamin B3 is also known as Niacin and can not only help give your pet more energy but is beneficial for your pets healthy digestive tract that helps produce the right amount of stomach acids and bile to help break down any nasty bacterias.

At Laila and Me we are very passionate about ensuring everything is natural, organic and safe for pets to consume while being beneficial and adding value to their diet (That is why are are creating our own Peanut Butter for Dogs #comingsoon). In the mean time is if very important to always get the ingredient list on every peanut butter before allowing your dog to consume it, and no, Craft Peanut Butter is not safe for pets. 

Always check the ingredients when looking for the right peanut butter for your pet. The main one being Xylitol is a harmful sugar found in many brands of peanut butter and although it is safe for humans to consume it is highly toxic to your pet.
