I have a Boxer puppy. No change in food. No changes in anything like soap or anything. Today, she just starting breaking out in hives. I dropped cookie dough on the floor earlier and she got to it before I did. Could it be the peanuts or peanut butter?

Dogs and cats tend to be itchier than humans, especially when these animals have allergies. The slightest contact with the wrong thing -- anything from plants in the backyard to insect stings to certain foods -- may cause them to break out in hives, itchy welts that resemble mosquito bites.
Hives aren't particularly serious and rarely last more than a few days. But they can be ferociously itchy. Some pets, dogs especially, have been known to scratch themselves raw in their vigorous attempts to make the itching go away.
See Your Vet If...
Your pet is scratching, and there are bumps under her fur
Patches of fur appear slightly raised
Your pet is shedding or scratching more than usual
He has scales, bald patches, or a rash
He has severe dandruff or dry skin
His fur is greasy or smelly even after baths
Your pet has broken out in hives and is having trouble breathing
He has a bad sunburn
There has been a significant change in skin color, or the skin seems loose
There is a lump or swelling beneath his skin
Your pet has a sore on the skin that won't heal
The skin of the lips, abdomen, or rectal area is yellow
There are red or purple dots or splotches on his skin

Peanut Butter Hives

It could be an allergic reaction, keep an eye on it if your puppy continues to get hives check for fleas and change food/treats. Alot of dogs are allergic to chicken products. I vet could also help to determine the cause.

Tracey, I would take her to the vet ASAP. I never, in all my years owning a dog, have ever seen it break out in hives. It could be minor or it could be major. You never know. Call your vet before heading over because, like I said, it could be minor.
Best Wishes to you and your puppy! :D

Im not sure if it could have that effect. My advice to you would be to give your dog a lot of water to drink, to dilute that peanut butter. Then take him/her to the vet asap.
Im not sure about anything else that could have caused him to break out. I do have a friend who's dog is allergic the their carpet so all him hair fell out. Weird huh? Maybe your dog is allergic to something, or is sick.

Allergies and you have to get them steroid shots cause they can die from allergies. Good luck and I hope I helped. But take to the vet and have them checked out . No one on here is a vet Im sure.
