My large dog ate a pickle from garlic brine. Is it toxic?

Question

My 65 pound dog ate a small piece of a pickle. The pickles are floating in the normal mixture used for pickling but with small chunks of garlic. My dog didn't eat any of the actual garlic, only the pickle. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 7 months old | 65 lbs

This is unlikely to cause an issue as the garlic itself has to be swallowed and the pickle juice likely diluted out the garlic quite a bit. I would just recommend monitoring Ayler for the next 24 hrs for any unusual behavior or illness (vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite) and seek a vet if needed. However it is unlikely to cause any major problems for Ayler. Take care.
