Our most popular fragrance. The peppermint essential oil tingles the body and clears the mind. Because therapeutically peppermint oil is a mild stimulant it increases vitality and clarity. All oils and essential oils are certified organic to the National Organic Standards Program. Packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

INGREDIENTS:
Water, Organic Coconut Oil*, Potassium Hydroxide**, Organic Olive Oil*, Mentha Arvensis*, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Peppermint Oil*, Citric Acid, Tocopherol

I know Potassium Hydroxide is another name for Caustic Potash, which is not something I would give a Yorkie (or any other animal)
Essential oils are used for aromatherapy for dogs, but should not be consumed. Again, human toothpaste assumes the user will spit it out, not swallow it as a dog is forced to.

I agree with Nancy. With all the dog toothpaste on the market, why would anyone take a risk using human toothpaste?
