I had heard this too. My dog has epilepsy so naturally I was worried about this. However, I use shampoo with rosemary in it, he has had treats with rosemary in it, I have rosemary plants in my garden, and I often cook with it and thus my house is fragrant w/ rosemary. I think the bigger problem is rosemary essential oil (or other essential oils) which are very concentrated. I don't have rosemary oil in the house anymore because of this. Otherwise, food and products w/ rosemary in it have not triggered a seizure in our dog. I just hear all these so called "triggers" of seizures and remarkably my dog's neurologist has not advised me to do anything differently with this dog other than treat him normally and give him his meds.
