Can dogs eat garlic?

No. Garlic is toxic to dogs.

Garlic is part of the Allium family, which also includes onions, leeks, and chives. These foods can lead to anemia, which can cause increased heart rate, lethargy, weakness, and collapsing. Sometimes it can take a few days for these symptoms to present, so monitor your dog carefully if you suspect they ate garlic.

Suspect your dog has ingested a potentially poisonous substance? Call your vet or phone animal poison control at (888) 426-4435. A consultation fee may apply.

How can we get Bosco to stop eating it? He seems to almost always hunt this one plant on every walk. Concerned that it might be toxic.

Update: See below apparently it’s called Garlic Mustard.
