Avoid
Can dogs eat garlic?
Same family as onion, and more potent by weight.
Why
Garlic is an allium and carries the same red blood cell risk as onion, in a more concentrated form. Despite popular claims about flea prevention, feeding garlic to dogs is not a safe practice.
Preparation
Not applicable — avoid garlic in all forms, including powder and granules.
Important warnings
Do not follow home remedies that recommend garlic. Contact a vet if your dog eats a significant amount.
