| Rosemary? Rosemary? I was just reading a thread talking about Rosemary being the cause of seizures. I did'nt think it proper for me to ask a question on someone else's thread. Anyway I see Blue Buffalo has Oil of Rosemary a ways down on the ingredient list. Is it the same? Penny is 8 months old and is doing well on BB but seizures scare me. We lost our 14 yr old cocker a while back but not to seizures but she had seizures big time. I don't wish that on any dog.

| That's a great question. I have no clue, but this definately needs an answer.

| First of all, I am NOT an expert on this, but I did some research. I can't find anything about the herb rosemary being toxic in any way. However, I DID find out that a plant called "rosemary pea" is toxic. Here's my source. Plants Toxic to Dogs So, I don't think you need to worry about it. If you still have questions about the food, contact the company. It wouldn't hurt to ask your vet as well.

| "Many commercial kibbles containing the herb rosemary may, in a few cases, lead to seizures." Healthy Adult Diet The small amount of rosemary in kibble probably isn't go to trigger a seizure in a healthy dog. The problem is when many foods and treats containing rosemary are fed, making the total amount consumed much higher. Did you know that Petzlife contains Rosemary?

| Here is a link to the Guardian Angels Canine Epilepsy site: Canine Epilepsy and Dog Seizures Table of Contents - Canine Epilepsy Guardian Angels Search for 'rosemary' in the search box and it will bring up several articles and information about rosemary. |

| My healthy dog Demi had a seizure from rosemary chicken. I screwed up gave her some of the albertsons rotisserie chicken with rosemary i was eating and was lazy and put that on her kibble one night as she use to get chicken on her kibble- 12 hrs later she had a petit mal. I found out then that rotisserie chicken is strong and the taste of the rosemary in that chicken was strong. It can trigger seizures in dogs prone to seizures but demi has never had one since but she did throw sometimes when i used petzlife gel as well. I stopped using petzlife because of that as it has rosemary in it. Her dog food has rosemary in it newman's own organic and she does fine on it. If i had a dog with epilepsy or other issues with seizures i would make sure it was not in the food. I think the chicken i gave her was so strong that it caused it so i definitely saw that rosemary is a trigger. She came to me put her legs up on me to pick her up and bile came out she fell on her side and froze. I freaked out picked her up never had seen her act like this before and she just froze staring straight ahead. She was out of it for a while after that. I was very scared. When i looked it up it was petit mal as she never did any shaking. I feel so bad i screwed up that night I have been trying to find a food with no rosemary in it for her but it has been difficult Last edited by dwerten; 05-23-2010 at 06:55 PM. |
