No. The ASPCA has enlisted peppermint as one of the most toxic herbs for dogs. Peppermint contains volatile compounds which can trigger severe toxicity symptoms in dogs.
Sure, a few sprigs of peppermint won’t harm most dogs but, in large quantities, peppermint leaves and sprigs could result in vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and skin irritation in dogs. Touching or licking the essential oil of peppermint could also result in severe skin allergies in dogs.
Peppermint candy is also one of the worst foods for dogs. Most brands of peppermint candy contain xylitol which is toxic to dogs. Candy also contains a ton of sugar which is harmful to pets. In large quantities, peppermint candy could result in liver or kidney failure in small dogs. In some cases, it can be lethal for weak or small-sized dogs.
Dogs that are on homeopathic treatments must be kept away from peppermint as it could interfere with these medicines. To be on the safe side, avoid feeding peppermint in any form to your dog.
