Why It's Dangerous

Marjoram is a culinary herb generally considered low-risk for dogs in the small amounts typically used in cooking. Very large amounts of the essential oil could theoretically cause digestive upset, but this is uncommon from normal cooking use.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Mild vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Drooling if a large amount of fresh or dried herb was eaten

Vet Guidance

No emergency action typically needed for small amounts. Monitor for mild digestive upset if a larger quantity of the plant was eaten.
