FAQs
Is mint safe for dogs?
Fresh culinary mint in small amounts is safe for most dogs. Avoid essential oils and never use artificial sweeteners like xylitol.
Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?
Yes. Use about ⅓ the amount of dried parsley or mint, as dried herbs are more concentrated.
My dog is dairy-sensitive—what can I substitute for yogurt?
Try plain, unsweetened goat’s milk yogurt or a lactose-free alternative. Introduce gradually.
How many treats can I give?
Start small. For most dogs, 1–3 cubes per day is plenty depending on size. Always include treats in daily calories.
