Hello doctor ! I crushed some cloves to clean my dog's teeth. But he swallowed them. Are they safe for dogs. Pls help!

Cloves really aren't safe for dogs, as they can cause liver issues, but not as severe as in cats. Keep a close eye on Mike, and if you see any concerning signs, have him seen by a vet immediately. Do not use cloves again to clean his teeth. Best of luck.
