Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While peanuts are not toxic to dogs, they are high in fat and excessive amounts of it may result in dietary indiscretion. However, if Kimi eats them in small amounts and she tolerates it well then she should be just fine. Good luck and have a great day! I hope you find this information helpful.
