[nagdu] dogs and peanuts was Re: Toy Suggestions

Tue Apr 2 13:59:12 UTC 2013

I don't know if peanuts are bad for dogs, but I do know that peanut butter is okay to give to dogs. In fact, one of the kennel staff at school told me that for special days such as Christmas they fill the dogs Kongs with peanut butter in them. So I'm guessing that if the school does it is okay to do it.

I know a few of yall have mentioned putting either crushed peanuts,  or just some kind of peanut product in a kongs but I've spent my whole life being told that if I give peanuts to dogs it'll most likely kill them. Am I the only one that has heard this?
