You love Mexican and Indian food, so you always have a bunch of cilantro in your refrigerator. But what do you do with the excess? Can you feed it to your dog and use it up in its broth?

Yes, it is safe to feed cilantro to dogs, but in small quantities.

You can add a handful of washed and chopped cilantro over your dog’s wet food or make a delicious broth with meat and vegetables and enhance its flavor with this leafy herb.

Cilantro is packed with vitamins A and C, as well as minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals help support your dog’s bone health. Cilantro also chelates or detoxifies heavy metals and toxins from your dog’s body (although more studies are needed to ascertain this).

So go ahead and add cilantro to your dog’s wet or dry food, and your pup will reap its health benefits and love its taste as well.

To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping you pup healthy.
