Pet's info: Dog | Black and Tan Coonhound | Male | neutered | 75 lbs

My dog ate a salmon burger with about 1/4 clove of garlic in it. There was also dill in it. He's about 75 pounds. Will he be OK or should we take him to the vet?

I'm sorry to hear that Chief got into trouble today! The amount of garlic you are describing should not cause toxicity for a dog as big as Chief. Just keep an eye on him for any tummy upset (vomiting, diarrhea, off his food) or lethargy, and if these occur have him seen by your veterinarian.
