are dogs allowed peanuts

Dogs are allowed to eat peanuts, but only certain types and in moderation. Plain, unsalted, dry-roasted or raw peanuts are safe for dogs to eat as occasional treats. It is important to remove the shells from peanuts before feeding them to dogs to avoid choking hazards. Seasoned, salted, honey- roasted, or flavored peanuts are not safe for dogs because they can contain salt, sugar, spices, or other ingredients that may harm dogs. Peanuts are high in fat, so feeding them in large amounts can cause digestive issues or pancreatitis. Starting with small amounts is advised, and dog owners should watch for any allergic reactions. Always consult a vet before introducing new treats to a dog's diet, especially for dogs with health conditions or special diets.
