Popular questions

    Yes—small amounts of rosemary extract (E392) used as a food preservative are generally safe for dogs; avoid giving concentrated essential oils and stop if stomach upset occurs.

  2. Can dogs eat rosemary extract?

  5. How to make rosemary extract?

    Commercial E392 is made by extracting rosemary with food‑grade solvents (e.g., ethanol), then purifying and standardizing carnosic acid/carnosol levels; at home you can approximate it by steeping dried rosemary in high‑proof food‑grade alcohol and filtering, though it won’t be standardized.
