My dog ate half a garlic bread naan. I've read garlic is toxic for dogs. He is a great Dane, weighs 56kg. And probably ate a hand size of the bread. Should I be worried? Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Great Dane | Male | neutered | 2 years and 3 months old

This is likely not enough garlic to pose a serious risk of toxicity. At worst, you may see some mild stomach upset. Withhold food for 24 hours and feed a bland diet in small, frequent amount until symptoms resolve.

My large dog ate garlic bread. Is garlic toxicity a risk?

Health & Wellbeing

My dog ate some of my bread with roughly 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic in it. She is a mastiff x ridgeback and is roughly 45kg. Is this poisonous?

Given Roxy's weight and the amount she ate, it may not be toxic to her, but as little as a clove of garlic can prove to be toxic to dogs. I would monitor her for signs of toxicity, which include drooling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, abdominal pain, increased heart rate, weakness, exercise intolerance, collapse, and pale gums. It can take up to a couple of days for signs of garlic toxicity to show, so I monitor her for at least four days. If she shows any signs of toxicity, take her into a vet immediately. In the future, I would make sure Roxy doesn't eat anything with garlic in it.

I have a Great Dane who is 140lbs. When I turned around from cooking he licked a pan with garlic. I don’t know how much he got but he probably got a few licks. Should I be concerned? He’s running around like normal and has an appetite and thirst.

While garlic is toxic to dogs, Oliver would have needed to eat at least an entire head of garlic in order to experience any serious toxic effects since he's such a big dog. There's still a slight chance that he might develop a mild stomach upset with vomiting or diarrhea, but even that's pretty unlikely. Just keep an eye on him, but you don't need to worry!

My 19 lb dog just ate a small piece of garlic bread (a piece of the toast that fell off of the top of a slice, a bit bigger than a pearl, smaller than a dime). I've heard garlic is toxic to dogs - do I need to bring her to a vet or is there something

I am sorry to hear about Snickers! Luckily an ingestion of this size is not a real concern for toxicity, so I would not worry about him eating this tiny piece of garlic bread. Garlic and onions can be toxic, but we only see these effects when ingested in large amounts.

i was eating garlic knots and the topping of garlic fell on the floor and she ate some of it. what will happen?

If the topping was mostly parmesean cheese that had been cooked with garlic, it is unlikely to be toxic. If the topping was pure garlic, a small amount ingested by a dog would probably not cause issues, but to be on the safe side, I would recommend that you have Bella Roca examined by a veterinarian. Your vet may recommend that she have some baseline bloodwork and IV fluids for support. Alternatively, you can call the Pet Poison Helpline for consultation.

My 15 lb and 10 lb dogs ate about 1/8 of a celeste cheesepizza. The box states it has dehydrated garlic in the sauce. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for visiting Boop by Petco. Luckily dehydrated garlic is not considered toxic to dogs. : ) Jaxon should be just fine. And even if it was fresh garlic, this was likely an amount too low to cause serious concerns. Best wishes and take care of your pet Jaxon.

Some gragettos garlic rye bread dropped on the ground. A small piece the size of a quarter. I think Zeus ate it. Do I need to take him to the vet?

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Ideally, you have Zeus evaluated by a veterinarian for induction of vomiting if this happened within the last hour. However, in reality this should be a very small amount and he should be fine even without inducing vomiting as this was a very small amount. Good luck and have a great day!

My 20lb Pomsky ate a small bite of garlic breadstick and a few hours later was vomiting and a bit lethargic. Should I be worried about garlic poisoning?

Garlic toxicity causes anemia and signs of it wouldn't show up this fast. I'm concerned it's the breadstick itself that has upset Skye's stomach. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

My 60 pound goldendoodle ate a piece of steak fat that was cooked with garlic paste, should i be worried?

Hi, It is true that garlic and garlic products can produce harmful effects in dogs such as anemia. Although, if this was a small amount and since Nova is a large dog, it would be very strange for her to have symptoms. Monitor her and keep an eye on any signs such as lethargy, pale gums, rapid breathing, weakness, jaundice, and dark colored urine. Garlic toxicity may also cause vomiting and diarrhea. If Nova had these signs, you would want to seek veterinary attention soon. But from the information you've provided I don't think you have much cause for concern. Thanks for the question and you did a great job noticing this! -Dr. Gordon

My dog just ate a 1/2 piece of garlic and cheese naan bread. Will he be ok? He is laying down now resting and seems to be breathing fine.

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Simba. He should be ok. There won't be enough garlic to cause toxicity and at most you may see some stomach upset. Keep a close eye on him, and take him into the vet with any concerns. I hope this helps!

My poncho ate my daughters bowl is spaghetti I use fresh garlic and powder will it kill her.

1/2 of a tsp of garlic powder or 2 whole garlic cloves would potentially be toxic if ingested, so if you think that it is possible that the spaghetti had that amount in the bowl you should see an emergency veterinarian. Otherwise there is no concern. Garlic and garlic powder tend to be more toxic if ingested consistently over a long period of time; it generally takes a lot to cause toxicity if it is a one time ingestion.
