Use only a tiny pinch of plain herb. Avoid essential oils, tinctures, and heavily seasoned dishes — concentrated forms can cause drooling, vomiting, or loose stool in sensitive pets.
Thyme is an aromatic herb with tiny gray-green leaves on woody stems, used in poultry seasoning, stuffing, soups, roasted vegetables, and herb butter blends. Sold fresh, dried, and ground.
Common kitchen forms include lemon thyme and thyme-infused oils. Many seasoning blends pair thyme with garlic, onion, salt, and black pepper.
Also used in bouquet garni bundles and poultry rubs cooked with pan drippings. Fresh stems are usually removed before serving but may leave scraps on cutting boards.
