Fresh mint is safe for dogs in small amounts and can help freshen breath. However, avoid mint candies, gum, and other products that often contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs. Mint essential oils are also dangerous and should not be given orally. Stick to fresh mint leaves as an occasional treat.

When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.
It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.
Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
