This herb is antimicrobial and it is very helpful in lessening the bacteria growth in your dogs mouth. It also helps to balance good bacteria growth in their gut.

Parsley is also a carminative herb so it is very soothing for the intestines. It helps strengthen the muscles in the digestive tract and relieves gas and indigestion.

Dogs that have urinary issues can benefit from parsley because the leaves have antiseptic properties and its diuretic properties aid in kidney function. It helps the kidneys eliminate excess fluid in the lungs and other organs.

If your dog is stung by a bee you can mash a handful of fresh parsley with some water and rub it on the sting. This helps neutralize the poison and will help ease the pain.
