If you use peanut butter for dog treats, check at the ingredients.
Sorry it's just a copy and paste, but I think it's a good heads up.

How have dogs survived this long. They can't eat grapes or chocolate either. Pretty soon the only safe thing will be fresh roadkill, boiled.

Chocolate toxicity has been known about for many many years, grapes etc more recently only because the connections were never made years ago. It only takes someone to put two and two together to start the ball rolling re collecting data.

The Veterinary Poisons unit started 22yrs ago and has been instrumental in data gathering to see what can be toxic etc.

Dogs haven't suddenly become intolerant to eg acorns/ conkers/ foxgloves/ onions/garlic etc etc we just have the data now.

I make my dogs peanut butter treats/biscuits. Dead easy and cheaper than shop bought, with added knowledge you know what's in them.
