Green Paw Don’t go Nuts, peanut butter for pets 350 g

Don’t go Nuts consists of two ingredients: peanuts as feed material and oil from hemp seed cake extraction in the amount of 700 mg per package. The package weighs 350 g. This is a treat, not an oil added to food, and this results in a completely different dosage: the manufacturer recommends 45 g, or three tablespoons, for every 20 kg of the animal’s body weight. The nutritional value per 100 g is 629 kcal, with 52.9 g of fat, including 8.6 g of saturated fatty acids, 6.6 g of carbohydrates, including 4.8 g of sugars, 9.8 g of fiber, 26.7 g of protein, and 0.01 g of salt. The manufacturer sets an upper limit: the daily dose of hemp phytochemicals should not exceed 2 mg per kilogram of the animal’s body weight. The manufacturer also provides two uses outside of food: as a training reward and as a filling for licking mats and sensory stimulating toys.

Ingredients

Ingredients listed by the manufacturer:

• Feed material: peanuts
• Feed material: oil from hemp seed cake extraction, 700 mg

Two items in the list are a rarity in complementary feed, and it is worth checking what this means. There is no added sugar or salt beyond what the manufacturer declares in the nutritional table at 0.01 g per 100 g, which is trace. There are also no preservatives. However, there is fat, and a lot of it: 52.9 g per 100 g of product, which translates to 629 kcal. There are 26.7 g of protein and 9.8 g of fiber, which is typical for peanut butter. These numbers have practical significance because a treat with such caloric content must be included in the daily balance of the animal, especially if the dog tends to gain weight. Separately, there is a limit set by the manufacturer for hemp phytochemicals, which is 2 mg per kilogram of body weight daily. The oil from hemp seed cake extraction is provided by the manufacturer in milligrams per package, not in percentages, and there are 700 mg in this jar.

How to use

A tablespoon is a rough unit here. For a smaller dog, it is more convenient to weigh the portion on a kitchen scale.

For whom

This product is meant to keep the dog engaged with something pleasant: a training reward, a filling for a licking mat, or an addition to food. However, it is worth treating it as a treat, not as a supplement, because of its caloric content: 629 kcal per 100 g is a value that cannot be ignored in the daily balance, especially for an overweight or less active dog. The dosage provided by the manufacturer is based on body weight, which is 45 g for 20 kg, and for smaller animals, it needs to be proportionally reduced. Separately, there is a limit for hemp phytochemicals, which is 2 mg per kilogram of body weight daily. Peanuts are an ingredient that some animals react to with intolerance, so it is advisable to reduce the first portion and observe the reaction. The manufacturer does not add sugar or preservatives to the composition, so the butter is exactly what it looks like: ground peanuts with added oil.

Frequently asked questions

How much butter should I give my dog?

The manufacturer provides a conversion based on body weight: 45 g, or three tablespoons, for every 20 kg. For a smaller dog, the value should be proportionally reduced, and for very small animals, it is more convenient to weigh the portion than to measure it with a spoon. There is also a limit for hemp phytochemicals: 2 mg per kilogram of body weight.

What exactly is in the composition?

Two items: peanuts as feed material and oil from hemp seed cake extraction in the amount of 700 mg per package. The manufacturer does not add sugar or preservatives. Salt is present in the amount of 0.01 g per 100 g of product, which is trace, and comes from the peanuts themselves.

Is the butter caloric?

Yes, and it is worth remembering. The manufacturer states 629 kcal per 100 g of product with 52.9 g of fat, including 8.6 g of saturated fatty acids. Additionally, there are 26.7 g of protein and 9.8 g of fiber. For a dog that is overweight or less active, the treat must be included in the daily balance and not treated as an insignificant addition.

How to use the butter outside of food?

The manufacturer lists two uses: as a reward during training and play, and as a filling for licking mats and sensory stimulating toys, such as kong. Both extend eating time and keep the animal occupied longer than a regular treat, which can be useful for dogs that get bored quickly.
