Peppermint is a great choice for someone looking to freshen their dog’s breath, as adding it to their food will do the trick! But there are more benefits than nicer smelling breath. Peppermint soothes upset stomachs and reduces gas and nausea.

If your dog is lactose intolerant, feeding live, active cultures is just as healthy!
