Peanut butter is not toxic and can be fed as an occasional treat to dogs. It's also good for hiding pills in if you ever need to medicate your dog. As long as your dog does not have an intolerance to peanut butter, there is no concern for feeding it. If you notice that Bear is vomiting or having diarrhea, then it will be best not to feed it. I hope that helps and all is well with Bear.
