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.

The phrase "healthy as a horse" means to be in excellent health or physically fit, typically used to describe someone who is robust and strong. This expression is drawn from the perception that horses are generally sturdy and resilient animals.

I have miniature donkey that I need to train and gain the trust of, and I've heard that they like mints. But I know that there's a whole lot of junk in them, and I want my donkey to be healthy. Is it okay to use mints as occasional treats? Also, can you recommend any other treats?
They can.
If they're really strong mints I guess it is normal. If I eat really strong flavored mints or something my eyes water which makes me sneeze sometimes ;)

you should feed them a healthy diet of nubs, fubs, and gubbers.
Dogs can eat mints but if you feed them too many they might get sick. if you are concerned about your dogs breath you should brush their teeth properly with an old tooth brush Sure dogs can eat mints, A lot of dogs wont even touch it though. I have an English Bulldog that will take the little ice breaker mints and then foam at the mouth, it's funny. It is not safe for a dog to eat mints. In fact many "sweets" contain Xylitol which is poisonous to dogs. 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.
