CarefulPlain unsalted peanuts, a few, shelled.
Salted, honey-roasted or flavored ones are not for pets; shells can choke. Peanut allergy is rare but real in dogs.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
