Xylitol shouldn't be used in any product a dog might be tempted to eat. And dogs love peanut butter. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] VibeSurgeon@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago Be that as it may, you shouldn't feed dogs non-dog food. Dogs are tempted to eat practically speaking everything that humans eat, we've been using them as cleanup crew for millenia permalink fedilink source parent [–] Thor_Whale@lemmus.org 10 points 1 day ago (1 child) It's amazing that you can actually buy peanut butter that is just strictly peanut butter, no additives. 🤷 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago There is a bit of a price difference, isn't there? And the all peanuts stuff isn't as good at hiding pills in, is it? Because it is so oily it doesn't form around the pill like the cheap stuff, right? So it's amazing and you have to pay more for something absolutely useless for the task at hand. But maybe you didn't know that. Maybe you were being clever but lacking the experience to be helpful. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (2 children) Dogs eat shit, therefore my shit should be illegal?

If my 90 lb dog ate a few pieces of chocolate, he might be miserable for a few days and need a vet visit, but it would take a lot to be fatal. If he ate a few pieces of gum, it could make him much, much sicker or kill him. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kuiskaaja@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 child) are we dogs? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Saber_is_dead@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago (1 child) or are we dancer 🎶 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] frongt@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 day ago No!
