Before You Give Your Dog Any Spices or Herbs, Talk to Your Vet

Although this list is meant to guide you in the direction of herbs and spices that are generally considered safe for dogs, it is always best to consult with your veterinarian before you add anything to your dog’s diet, whether it’s a supplement, herb, or spice. Not all dogs are the same and some of herbs and spices thatcould help one pup’s health could seriously upset the tummy of another. The best way to confirm which of these suggestions will best help your dog is to consult your vet. That way, you can be sure that it will be safe and appropriate for your furry friend. Your vet can also advise you on proper dosing, as well as provide advice on where you need to use caution when adding spices and herbs to your pet’s food. There’s a reason you have a vet after all, never be afraid to use them.
