No. Even though many people feed their horse peppermints they are not good for horses. They are pure sugar and are not healthy for horse. If you insist on feeding peppermints please feed in moderation.

Yes, animals and insects do eat peppermint. Peppermint is considered safe for most animals and insects, but it is also used as a deterrent in gardens for pests like mosquitoes and mice.

Dogs that eat Xilitol can develop a sudden drop in blood sugar, which can cause weakness, lethargy, loss of coordination, collapse and seizures. Symptoms can begin in as little as 30 minutes and last hours. It is recommended that pets that experience symptoms be taken to a veterinarian or local emergency clinic for evaluation.
