Dog Nutritionist Swears By This Kitchen Staple for Pet Health

A certified dog nutritionist recently highlighted a surprising supermarket item that could help support your pet’s health: herbs.

"Herbs have so many healing qualities for dogs," Cameron shared in the caption of his video. "Take this as your sign to do some research, learn what each herb can do, and start incorporating them into your dog's meals."

Filming inside a grocery store, Cameron explained further: "Herbs can help heal your dog—oregano, for example, is rich in antioxidants, has antimicrobial properties, and acts as a natural anti-inflammatory."

He recommended using herbs like oregano if your dog is struggling with immune-related issues such as UTIs, yeast infections, or ear conditions. "You should be sprinkling herbs like oregano into their food," he said.

Cameron also emphasized that many herbs can be beneficial. “Do a bit of research—look up a specific herb and see how it aligns with your dog’s health concerns. Then give it a try. It can truly help heal your dog.”

While some viewers raised safety concerns about oregano, Dog Time confirms that it is generally safe for dogs in moderation. “Oregano contains anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties, and it may help ease symptoms of colds and bloating in dogs. Just be sure to use it as a supplement to their meals—not in large amounts.”

The site also notes that dogs may be sensitive to oregano’s strong scent, so it’s best to finely chop fresh oregano or use dried oregano in small portions, mixing it with food or homemade dog treats.

Still, it’s crucial to consult your veterinarian before making any changes to your pet’s diet. Some herbs can be harmful to dogs, especially in large doses. Always do your homework and consider the risks to ensure your pet’s safety and well-being.
