Can cats eat garlic?
If your cat has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Toxic to cats. More potent than onion; alliums damage feline red blood cells. Alliums like garlic are significantly more potent than onions and can destroy feline red blood cells, leading to severe anemia. Even small amounts, whether raw, cooked, or in powder form, pose a serious risk to your cat's health.
Watch out for
- raw cloves
