Oregano
オレガノ• Oregano
Oregano is high in antioxidants and flavonoids and is reported as an antimicrobial. It’s a delicious addition to any dish, smells wonderful and this pungent herb is a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K coupled with Omega-3s, calcium, iron, manganese, and dietary fibre.
You might be wondering is oregano good for dogs? This non-toxic herb has been used to help dogs with digestive problems, diarrhoea, and gas. Research using oil of oregano has also shown anti-fungal properties.
Benefits of Oregano:
Cleanse your dog’s body due to its strong antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties
Reduce inflammation and swelling
Alleviate arthritis
Destroy free radicals.
Too much of a good thing can be bad for your dog though. These are some symptoms to watch out for if your dog has a little too much:
Depression
Diarrhoea
Tummy upset
Vomiting
If you’re uncertain or if your dog is displaying some of these symptoms right after consuming oregano, do seek consultation with your veterinarian.
With Gyū at Kuro Snacks, we use dried oregano leaves, as part of the process and in quantities safe for dogs.
