I would take Zeus into a vet immediately. Garlic is toxic to dogs, and because the garlic was a powder, it would be even more concentrated and take less of it to cause toxic symptoms. Toxic symptoms can include vomiting, which you are seeing, and garlic toxicity leads to anemia. Please take Zeus into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now for treatment.

    Yes, I would have Carmello seen by a vet immediately. Powdered forms of onion and garlic are much more toxic due to the concentrated form, and it can take up to two to four days for signs of garlic and onion toxicity to show. Please take her into a vet now.
