What is Peanut Oil?

Peanut oil, sometimes referred to as groundnut oil, is an oil used by many people around the world. The oil is made from the edible seeds of the peanut plant. The edible seeds are what we commonly call “peanuts.” The nuts grow underground and belong to the pean and bean family (who knew!).

The oil derived from peanuts can be made with different flavors and processed in different ways. Peanut oil is extremely popular in Asian cuisine, though it’s also used to fry turkeys and other meats.

Peanut Oil & Dogs

The good news is that peanuts are not toxic to dogs. However, they do contain a lot of fat, which may cause a dog to develop pancreatitis. While the oil is not poisonous, it can cause a dog to become sick. The dog could develop pancreatitis and other conditions.

Pancreatitis is a very serious condition that causes the pancreas to become inflamed. When this happens, the organ begins to leak enzymes, leading to severe inflammation and damage to the body. Again, this is a severe condition that can even cause death if left untreated.

Symptoms of Pancreatitis in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog has drunk peanut oil:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Fever
  • Lethargy
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Decreased appetite

Pancreatitis can cause severe pain, which may cause a dog to look as if they’re in a praying position (with their rear in the air, with his front legs and head lowered to the floor). In a severe attack, the dog may go into acute shock, severe depression, which is followed by death.

So, if your dog is showing any of these symptoms, call the vet immediately. This is an emergency.

Explain to the vet that your dog has drunk peanut oil and what time this happened. In addition, provide the vet with any other information about this situation. Anything you share could help the vet determine how best to help your dog.

The key here is to get your dog to the vet ASAP. The sooner your dog receives treatment, the better. The prognosis is best for dogs who are quickly treated for this very painful condition.

So, remember, prevention is the best medicine! Be sure to keep your dog away from peanut or other types of oil. If you use a turkey fryer, make sure to keep it in an area where your dog can’t go. His life may depend on it!
