I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | So much depends on the size of your dog, and the amount of garlic. Was it one clove, or a whole bulb? Garlic is in many dog foods, and many vets and nutritionists recommend it, but there has been one case of a dog consuming a whole bottle of garlic powder, and the dog did die, so it really has more to do with the amount for the size of the dog. I would call my vet, and ask what to do, sometimes giving hydrogen peroxide right away (within the first half hour) helps, but you need to know the right amount for your dog. The hydrogen peroxide causes vomiting, but if you wait too long other methods should be used. Best of luck, let us know what happens. Garlic has been grouped with onions as being toxic, but onions are much more dangerous.

Senior Yorkie Talker | My 6 pound Dachshund eats garlic all the time. He's fine, other than his breath stinks. =) Hope everything is well!

| So glad he is okay. Sorry didn't mean to add to your panic with my first post. I was just worried because I was always told garlic was toxic. I am now breathing a sigh of relief for you! |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | There is lots of confusion over this, and a substance has to be on the toxic list, if it is toxic in any amount. Since dogs will consume large quantities of things, it really needs to be placed on the toxic list, a dog would lap up a whole bottle of garlic powder, and you would need to get them to a vet if they do. I would be very concerned about a whole bulb too, I'm not sure about a clove, but suggesting someone go to the vet, is ALWAYS good advice!
