Common questions about eucalyptus
Is Eucalyptus good for dogs?
We grade it as a poor ingredient: typically cheap, vague or of questionable nutritional value, so it drags a product’s score down. One poor ingredient does not make a food bad on its own, but a recipe built from several usually scores low.
Why is eucalyptus added to dog food and treats?
Eucalyptus is often added for its distinctive aroma and is sometimes used in dental or breath-freshening products. It appears in very small, controlled amounts in complete pet foods and treats.
Is eucalyptus safe for dogs to eat?
Eucalyptus should only be given to dogs in the controlled quantities used in formulated pet products. Pure eucalyptus oil can be harmful, so stick to commercial foods and treats designed for dogs.
