Thank you for submitting your question regarding D. Peanut butter is high in fat and I have seen it cause pancreatitis in dogs. Furthermore, golden retrievers are very food motivated dogs. I worry that your son could accidentally be nipped or bit while the dog is trying to lick the peanut butter off of him. For these reasons, I do not recommend this activity. I hope this information helps!
