Hi @childlessdoglady, I am also a big fan of Trader Joe’s. My dogs LOVE peanut butter, so it is a staple in my house. I give one of my dogs medication daily in a little bit of peanut butter, so I am always on the lookout for dog-safe options. Peanut butter can be a safe treat, but you must be careful not to pick products that have added salt or artificial sweeteners. This article covers feeding your dog peanut butter, and this one reviews the best peanut butter for dogs.
In regards to Trader Joe’s peanut butter, it all depends on the specific product you use. I looked at a few; for example, Trader Joe’s Creamy No Salt Organic Peanut Butter is safe, as it only contains organicValenica peanuts and no added salt or sweeteners. Another safe option is Trader Joe’s Creamy Unsalted Peanut Butter, which is made from unblanched peanuts. Always look closely at the ingredients and avoid added salts, sugars, and artificial sweeteners, especially xylitol. It is toxic to dogs and should always be avoided. I hope this helps you find a tasty, healthy peanut butter your pup loves.
