Can dogs eat leeks?
If your dog has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Toxic to dogs. Alliums damage red blood cells. Leeks belong to the allium family, which contains compounds that damage red blood cells and can cause life-threatening anemia. Even small amounts or cooked forms can be harmful, and there is no safe threshold for consumption.
Watch out for
- raw leeks
- cooked leeks
- leek powder
- leek soup or stock
- leek-flavored treats
