Your dog consumed a large amount of peanut butter, which may be causing the repeated vomiting. While peanut butter can be safe in small amounts, consuming a lot at once can lead to gastrointestinal upset or more serious issues.
- Large quantities of peanut butter can upset a dog's stomach.
- Some peanut butters contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.

Ingesting substantial amounts of peanut butter might lead to an upset stomach, resulting in vomiting. Keep an eye on your dog for signs of persistent vomiting or other symptoms, such as lethargy or issues with balance. Double-check the peanut butter's ingredient list for xylitol, as it is harmful to dogs and requires urgent care.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
