Beehive Buzz Buddy Budder Dog Peanut Butter Treat
Verified Jun 9, 2026
This is an all-natural peanut butter–based dog treat made from peanuts, bee pollen, and honey. It’s designed as a high-value, lickable reward that can be used on its own, in enrichment toys, or as a pill-hiding aid for puppies and adult dogs. Because it’s essentially flavored peanut butter, it’s best used in small amounts alongside a balanced dog food, not as a main diet.
Nutritionally, this is a simple, high-fat, high-calorie peanut butter treat with a couple of added ingredients (bee pollen and honey) for flavor and variety. It can work well as a special reward, for enrichment toys, or to help give medications, as long as portions are kept modest. It’s not a complete diet, so it should only make up a small part of your dog’s overall daily calories, especially for puppies or dogs who are prone to weight gain or pancreatitis.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Very short, simple ingredient list (peanuts, bee pollen, honey), which can be helpful if you’re trying to limit additives in treats.
- Free from xylitol, added salt, added sugar, hydrogenated and palm oils, which are common concerns in human peanut butters used for dogs.
- Soft, spreadable texture makes it useful for pill-giving, lick mats, and enrichment toys, which can reduce stress during grooming or vet care.
Considerations
- Peanut butter treats are energy-dense and high in fat, so overuse can contribute to weight gain or may not be ideal for dogs with a history of pancreatitis or needing lower-fat diets.
- Contains peanuts and bee products, which can occasionally cause sensitivities in some dogs; introduce gradually and watch for any digestive upset or itching.
- Not a complete and balanced food and no nutrient analysis is provided, so it should only be fed as an occasional treat alongside a balanced dog diet.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Peanut
Peanuts are used in pet foods and treats primarily as a palatability enhancer and concentrated source of plant-based protein, fats (mostly monounsaturated), calories, and small amounts of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E and niacin. They can provide tasty, energy-dense nutrition but should be used sparingly because their high fat content can contribute to pancreatitis in susceptible dogs, they can be contaminated with aflatoxins, may contain added salt or toxic sweeteners like xylitol, and whole nuts or shells can cause choking or gastrointestinal obstruction—peanuts are not appropriate as a staple in cat diets.
02
Bee Pollen
Bee pollen is used as a natural supplement or ingredient in pet foods and treats, offering small amounts of protein, amino acids, B-vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants that are marketed to support skin and coat, immune function and general vitality in dogs and cats. While it can provide beneficial micronutrients and antioxidant effects, bee pollen products vary widely in composition and purity and can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so it should be introduced cautiously, not used as a complete nutritional source, and discussed with a veterinarian before regular use.
03
Honey
Honey is used in pet foods and treats primarily as a natural sweetener and binder, supplying simple carbohydrates for quick energy but contributing negligible protein, fiber, or essential vitamins. Raw honey contains antioxidants and may have mild antimicrobial or prebiotic effects, but because it is high in sugar and can worsen obesity, dental disease, or diabetes—and may carry microbial contaminants—use should be limited (and avoided in very young or immunocompromised animals); consult your veterinarian before offering honey to pets, especially cats (which are obligate carnivores and gain little benefit) or diabetic animals.
