My 25 pound Jack Russell mix just ate about a teaspoon of hummus containing garlic. Will he be okay?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is a very small amount of garlic probably that is contained in the hummus so this is unlikely to cause any issues. Watch for any signs of possible toxicity like gastrointestinal issues, lethargy and/or exercise tolerance. If any of these are observed, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
