Generally the fewer added ingredients like salt and sugar that a peanut butter contains the better it is for your dog.

Xylitol is a sugar substitute most commonly found in gum but also in some brands of peanut butter. When a dog consumes xylitol, it acts as an intense insulin release stimulator and causes a severe drop in blood sugar.
