Can dogs eat garlic?
If your dog has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Toxic to dogs. Alliums damage red blood cells. Alliums like garlic destroy red blood cells, leading to anemia and potentially life-threatening complications. Even small amounts or concentrated forms like powder can be harmful, and there is no safe threshold for consumption.
Watch out for
- raw garlic cloves
- garlic powder
- cooked garlic dishes
- garlic-infused oils
