Herbs I have an indoor herb container as well as an outdoor herb garden. Does anyone know for sure whether or not these herbs are safe if ingested by curious cats or any dogs (I have 2 yorkies). Thyme, sage, spearmint, apple mint, basil, oregano, parsley, chives. I am particularly concerned about the chives because they are associated with alium---onion family. Herb gardeners and plant specialists---your help /advise is sincerely appreciated. Are these safe if my pets ingest them? Thanks for a quick reply. DAB |

I also found this: 9. Onions, Garlic, Chives These vegetables and herbs can cause gastrointestinal irritation and could lead to red blood cell damage. Although cats are more susceptible, dogs are also at risk if a large enough amount is consumed. Toxicity is normally diagnosed through history, clinical signs and microscopic confirmation of Heinz bodies. An occasional low dose, such as what might be found in pet foods or treats, likely will not cause a problem, but we recommend that you do NOT give your pets large quantities of these foods.
