Peanut butter was actually invented around 1890 by a nutrition-conscious doctor who prescribed it for his patients in order to increase their protein intake. The doctor was right about the high nutritional content of peanuts—in addition to being high in protein, they are high in amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, calcium, phosphorus and niacin. Peanuts are actually legumes, not nuts. And, you can get the benefit of peanuts in your natural dog treats by adding peanut butter or chopped peanuts as ingredients in your home made dog cookies and biscuits. As you know, peanut butter is widely available and can be purchased at your local grocery store. Make sure that you read the label before you buy, though. Some brands of peanut butter contain sugar (sometimes a lot of sugar), added oils and preservatives. To make sure that you are giving your dog the best nutrition, choose only brands that contain 100% peanuts! Peanut butter is one of the most popular flavorings for dog treats! It's a great dog treat ingredient, as long as you don't feed your dog too much. Peanut butter can “put on the pounds” if overdone. If your dog tends to be overweight, use peanut butter sparingly--as a very special reward.
