Can dogs eat chives?
If your dog has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Toxic to dogs. Alliums damage red blood cells. All plants in the onion family, including chives, contain compounds that destroy red blood cells and lead to anemia. Even small amounts can be harmful, and there is no safe threshold for dogs to consume them.
Watch out for
- raw chives
- cooked chives
- chive powder
- chive flowers
- chives mixed into other foods
