My boston terrier tries to eat my basil and rosemary. Is this o.k.?

I'm pretty sure it's harmless, but I would like to know a doctor's opinion.

Wow, your dog's a foodie!! Basil and Rosemary aren't toxic, but don't let him eat huge amounts, especially of the Rosemary. A little nibble here and there is fine.
Reply:Herbs are fine. But I wouldn't go overboard knowing what I know about bostons and GAS problems! :-)
Reply:It's not bad for them at all, but large amounts could upset his stomach. A nibble here or there is harmless though.
Reply:Your pooch is fine eating herbs, they are good for them.My dog eats them all the time, and he is 5 years old, and been eating herbs from my garden since he was a puppy.He eats Sage Parsley, Rosemary, Thyme, Mint,and his favourite is Lavender. The vet told me he was fine to enjoy eating herbs.
Reply:Generally the only things you need to worry about are grapes/raisins, onion (or anything in the onion family like garlic), chocolate and chrysanthemums. All dogs stomachs are a little different and can handle things differently. Most likely if anything was going to happen it would be diarrhea and vomiting nothing to serious.
