I garnish almost every meal with thyme. I also recently started to add it to my dog’s meals as well, he’s been showing some signs of allergy and I wanted to be sure it wasn’t the thyme.
I cook with thyme a lot and never have I even thought that it actually contains some essential nutrients like vitamins, iron, calcium and the rest. I also use it to prepare my dog’s food and I’m glad he gets to enjoy the benefits too.
Yeah, I noticed that some dog food manufacturers actually add it to the food and there’s always this different aroma it gives. And I’m sure it has a better taste. I’m also going to try including it in his homemade foods as I want him to enjoy the benefits to the fullest.
I didn’t even know that commercial foods add that to their ingredients. I just picked one of my dogs food and checked now. They sure did and I’m finally glad that I can now comfortably let my dog eat some food we prepare with thyme that is safe for him.
