Question submitted during Session III of The Canine Epilepsy Summit:
"I’ve heard that Rosemary Extract can be a potential trigger (of seizures). It’s really hard to find a food that is free of Rosemary Extract - how much should I worry about this?"
- Answer provided by a Session III Panelist:
Thank you for this question. I am not a nutritionist, but as far as I understand these are sometimes added to diets to improve stability. The doses added should be safe … but … what I have learned now over the years is that only the major companies out there do do their due diligence and keep batches+analyse these for quality control. Smaller companies often do not have the resources to do this. Thus, I would recommend going with major companies who have stringent quality control or consult a nutritionist for a home made diet … I hope this helps and answers your question.
