Rosemary extract, a common ingredient in dry petfoods, is the oily resin derived from the leaves of the rosemary plant.
Rosemary extract is a common ingredient found on dry petfood labels, typically at or near the bottom of the ingredient listing. While rosemary extract is generally viewed with favor by pet owners, it doesn’t provide nutritional fortification, it doesn’t provide medicinal support for any specific ailment, nor does it enhance the taste appeal of the food (for pets). In fact, pets don’t really like the taste or smell at all. So what exactly is rosemary extract and why is it in petfood?
