dogs love peanut butter. it is a great treat. the only way it could ever be harmful is if they have Allergies, most don't. no matter what food you give your dog, you should never give them too much of anything. table scraps should only be 10% of your dogs diet at the most. to limit the amount of peanut butter that you give to your dog, if you do, give it to him or her from a spoon. my dog loves peanut butter. if you want to know if your dog has allergies, take it to the vet for an allergy test. here is also a list of foods you should never give to your dog. for more information on this Google KNOWN TOXIC FOODS FOR DOGS.

No. peanut butter is actually a good treat for dogs (put inside chew toys, for example) when used in moderation, like all dog treats.
