I don't know if I have asked this before....at what age did you first give your dog peanut butter?

Duke was fairly young, maybe 4 months, when we starting filling his Kong with it. He loved it from day one!

Glad you asked this Paula, I've been wondering the same thing!

If Duke was around 4 months, then I think I might try the PB with Gracie this week, thanks!

I don't remember when we first gave them peanut butter but boy oh boy do they love it!! I love giving it to them right off my finger b/c they are hysterical to watch eating it!

It is fun to have them lick stuff off you finger. That is unless they havn't learned not to try to eat your finger too. When we first had Jasmine, we called her the pirahna. She learned not to have peanut butter and finger sandwiches eventually.

Good thing she doesn't try to eat your finger anymore!
Our guys are funny because all three of them are very careful NOT to to get my finger, they are especially funny if they get some on their noses!

So, I just gave him about a teaspoon off my finger...he liked it!! Was looking for more, but I figure we'll take it slow.

Let Gracie tried some peanut butter last night and as expected (from everyone's posts!) she LOVED it! Her tail was wagging so much I expected her to lift off the ground a bit! The unexpected was how gentle she was. Hubby and I both gave her some off a finger and even with how excited she was, and how thoroughly she cleaned our fingers, she was a gentle as I have ever seen her. This came as a huge surprise as we are working on her biting/nipping right now! I wonder if I could work this into her training somehow to think less of fingers as chew toys?!

Daisy and Rocky love PB. They were 2 when we got them and I'm thinking they probably didn't get a lot of treats prior to that. We recently got them some peanut butter/yogurt/carob treats from the doggie bakery that we go to. They love them!
