Peanut butter is great for dogs because they love the taste and it is a good source of protein, healthy fats, vitamin B, niacin, and vitamin E, according to Ceasar’s Way. Just never give your dog peanut butter that contains an artificial sweetener called xylitol.

Bananas are also good for dogs too.

They provide your dog with potassium, manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C, fiber, biotin, and copper. They are low in both sodium and cholesterol. They do have a lot of sugars o they should only be eaten as a treat and not part of their regular diet, according to Paw Culture.
