Parsley, in addition to its use for dog bad breath, is also noted for its diuretic properties. It can stimulate the kidneys to filter out toxins and increase urine. This property is especially helpful when heart problems or high blood pressure are an issue. When using parsley, make sure that you use ONLY the leaves. The seeds contain high concentrations of volatile oil, which can irritate the stomach, intestines or kidneys. Higher amounts of the seeds can cause even more dangerous conditions. So...parsley leaves are absolutely safe and they are healthy for your dog. Using them in dog treats will help you to be closer to your dog by combating nasty dog breath.
