When a dog owner noticed her usually lively golden retriever, Bernie, being unusually quiet in the backyard, she never expected to stumble upon a hilarious scene that she couldn’t resist sharing in a viral TikTok video.
Sharing the amusing incident on TikTok under the username @rebeccalouise544, the owner revealed that Bernie was discovered indulging in a jar of peanut butter he had found in the kitchen.
She humorously captioned the video with, “You always know they are up to something when it all goes quiet.” A text overlay in the video further emphasized the point with, “When they’ve been quiet for too long.”
As she entered the backyard to investigate, she was greeted by the sight of Bernie reveling in his unauthorized treat, looking quite satisfied with himself.
Can Dogs Enjoy Peanut Butter?
Peanut butter can indeed be a safe and enjoyable treat for dogs, but there are important considerations for pet owners.
It is crucial to ensure that the peanut butter does not contain xylitol, a sugar substitute highly toxic to dogs, as it can lead to severe health issues such as low blood sugar, seizures, liver failure, or even death.
Additionally, moderation is key when feeding dogs peanut butter due to its high fat and protein content, which can contribute to weight problems in pets.
Opt for peanut butters with minimal ingredients, preferably just peanuts and a small amount of salt. Steer clear of brands with added sugars, preservatives, or hydrogenated oils for the healthiest choice for your furry friends.
