Does peppermint harm dogs? |
|
I don't mean peppermint candies.
I made some cookies with peppermint extract in them, and my dog keeps begging me for one. Will it hurt her?

2. RE: "Does peppermint harm dogs?" |

Probably not. I haven't heard anything about peppermint. I do know, however, that dogs cannot metabolize chocolate.

3. Peppermint is ok for dogs. |
|
A quick Google of "dogs and peppermint" shows that peppermint treats nausea in dogs. http://www.herbs2000.com/h_menu/1_dogs.htmAlso, when used in a shampoo, it helps with fleas, supposedly. http://www.natural-magic.co.uk/herbs/Peppermint.html
