Many kitchens around the world utilize Rosemary for its aromatic properties and health benefits. So you may be wondering if rosemary for dogs and cats is safe. Keep reading to learn more about this powerful plant and its effects on pet health!
What is Rosemary?
Also known as Rosmarinus officinalis, this aromatic shrub has creeping or upright branches with needle-like leaves and tubular flowers that range in color from pale to dark blue. Rosmarinus comes from the Latin phrase ‘dew of the sea’; referring to the dewey appearance of Rosemary’s pale flowers seen from afar. These plants are native to mostly dry, coastal areas around the Mediterranean. However, many countries grow Rosemary cultivars across the globe. They have a long life cycle of at least two years and can bloom any time between early spring to late summer, depending on the climate. The most common parts used in recipes and concoctions are the leaves, stems, and flowers.
History of the Rosemary Plant
Rosemary was used traditionally in European herbal medicine to help improve memory & concentration, and to help with depression. This plant has a long history of use for helping to “uplift one’s spirits” and encourage circulation.
Medicinal Properties of Rosemarinus Officinalis
Rosemarinus officinalis contains rosmarinic acid, which has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and infection-fighting properties. Its antioxidant effects are beneficial for repairing damaged hair follicles and for encouraging hair regrowth.
Rosemary contains rosmarinic acid, which is beneficial for encouraging hair regrowth and providing mild UV protection.
Is Rosemary Safe For Dogs and Cats?
Rosemary for dogs and cats is a non-toxic plant that may offer a range of healing benefits for your furkiddo! But like anything in life, too much of a good thing can still be too much, so correct dosing is crucial. We use rosemary in five of our topical sprays and not our oral supplements, so you don’t have to worry about dosage by weight.
These all-natural sprays and drops can be applied two to three times a day to the affected area(s) until healed. It may be necessary to shave or trim your furkiddo’s hair so that the spray absorbs into the affected area. You may also require a gauze covering to discourage your pet from licking.

Natural Support for Cat Skin Allergies and Hot Spots
What Is A Hot Spot?
A hot spot (aka moist dermatitis) is an inflamed skin lesion that may be further irritated by licking, scratching and chewing, often turning red, becoming infected, and 'hot' to the touch. Kitties are very sensitive and may have very delicate skin, so even small changes in their diet or environment can strongly affect them. The inflamed skin can be very uncomfortable for your kitty, and they may even experience fur loss.
Causes of Hot Spots on Cats
A few factors can cause hot spots in our feline friends, like food sensitivities, allergens in the environment, biting insects, and infections. Kitties with longer coats may be more susceptible to hot spots, especially when the weather is humid (like in the summer months). In most cases, hot spots are caused by allergies to the environment or something in their diet. Cat skin allergies most often develop on their paws, face, ears, front legs, and belly, but itchiness all over the body is common as well.
How NHV's Natural Cat Allergy Spray Relieves Inflamed Skin
If your kitty is licking, biting, or scratching a specific area, they may be experiencing a great level of discomfort. Ingredients like Chamomile, Marigold and Aloe vera are beneficial for soothing skin lesions, reducing swelling and easing discomfort. The immunostimulatory properties in Ouch Away help regulate a healthy histamine response to rebalance the immune system and help prevent infection. Herbs like Tea Tree oil and Lemongrass are effective topically against biting insects (fleas, mites, mosquitos and flies) and fighting infections, while ingredients like Rosemary encourage hair regrowth (recovery from alopecia).
