Is it true that dogs like peanut butter? So as omnivores, dogs are more likely to identify and enjoy a sweet snack like peanut butter. This sweet tooth could also explain why dogs like eating apples and other fruits or even why they stare longingly at your ice cream cone. No matter how much your pup begs, try keeping their peanut butter intake to a minimum.
Why do dogs keep lick after eating peanut butter? Dogs lick their legs after eating peanut butter as a way to clean both their tongue and the roof of their mouth. Peanut butter’s thick and sticky consistency make it an immediate adhesive to a dogs mouth once mixed with their saliva.
Is every peanut butter good for dogs? Generally speaking, any peanut butter that doesn’t contain xylitol (or chocolate) should be fine for a dog. It can be a good source of protein and healthy fat for your dog — in moderation, of course. However, some peanut butters are healthier than others.
Why do dogs eat peanut butter weird? It makes them remember it once they’ve tried it, but the aroma is what makes them initially attracted. The aroma comes from proteins and fats that have been changed in the roasting process — and, to a dog, probably smells a bit like caramelized meat. Dogs are omnivores and have a sensitivity for sweetness.
