Can cats or dogs eat butter?

Cats: Be careful · Dogs: Be careful — Butter is almost entirely fat. Pet Poison Helpline places butter in the group of fatty foods that can cause pancreatitis, especially in dogs. Just a little licking is okay. But if you secretly eat a whole loaf of butter or a lot of buttered bread, it's considered risky. People shouldn't share baked goods with butter on a regular basis. If you eat a lot, watch for signs of vomiting and abdominal pain in 1-4 days. If symptoms appear, take them to the veterinarian. Refrain from feeding it again during that time.
