Can dogs eat Garlic (raw)?
Garlic (raw)（にんにく）
Do not feed
Never give this to dogs. It is an allium, like onion.
If your dog ate this
Confirm what your dog ate, how much, and when.
Call your regular clinic; after hours, contact an emergency animal hospital.
What kind of food is this?
Garlic belongs to the same allium family as onion, green onion, and garlic chives. The organosulfur compounds in alliums can oxidatively damage a dog's red blood cells, which can lead to hemolytic anemia.
Symptoms may appear not right after eating but some time later.
Some home-cooking approaches use tiny amounts, but no amount is known to be safe for dogs.
Cooked, in broth, or powdered — all the same
Allium compounds remain even after cooking. Boiled, grilled, or stir-fried garlic is treated the same as raw.
The compounds also pass into cooking liquid. Even with the garlic itself removed, the soup — or any food with that broth on it — is not for dogs.
Powdered forms such as garlic powder are treated the same way.
