If your dog is acting normal, call APCC at 888-426-4435, so we can help you determine if your dog needs any treatment. If your dog is symptomatic, take them to a veterinarian immediately.

If given as a treat, your dog will find a small amount to be just as thrilling as a large amount. As a starting point, it is reasonable to limit peanut butter offerings to: ½ teaspoon for a small dog, twice per day. 1 teaspoon for a medium or large dog, twice per day as a maximum amount.
