Xylitol is an increasingly common sugar-replacement sweetener that\u2019s in hundreds of products, including some brands of peanut butter. It\u2019s an \u201call-natural\u201d sugar substitute that\u2019s fine for people, but it\u2019s extremely poisonous to dogs and poisons thousands of dogs each year.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uuGKq6-ksnk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-peanut-butter-bad-for-pitbulls\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_peanut_butter_bad_for_pitbulls\"><\/span>Is peanut butter bad for pitbulls?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A xylitol-free peanut butter is perfectly fine to feed to your pooch.

Make sure to moderate your portions to avoid unwanted weight gain.
