Chihuahua + Peanut Butter (Xylitol-Free)
Yes, in moderation.
The verdict
Xylitol-free peanut butter is not toxic to dogs, making this a low-risk ingestion for a 5lb Chihuahua from a toxicity standpoint. However, due to their small size, even non-toxic foods can cause digestive upset if consumed in large quantities, primarily from the fat content.
