Gave my dog a clove of garlic... is it going to die?

Answers:
Of course not

Consult a veterinarian immiediately.
Never feed your dog anything but dog food. Just to be on the safe side for future reference.

---

no, not at all.

---

No. Many people feed their dogs garlic to repel fleas. A LOT of garlic will cause intestinal irritations/diarrhea. But one clove shouldn't hurt her. Unless she has a particular allergy to it.
According to: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?...
Onion and Garlic contain sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Cats are more susceptible than dogs. Garlic is less toxic than onions.

---

Nope, give your dog a couple of Nestle crunch bars.

---

NO it's not going to die. It's mouth may be on fire for awhile. But it will be fine.

---

No. but he might smell for a bit. He wont have a flea problem either.

---

No it won't die. Garlic is a good flea repellent. Give doggy a clove a day. One clove a day keeps the fleas away!

---

No. I wouldn't worry about these things at all. It's in most dog foods anyway.

---

If you ate a clove of garlic, would you die? No.

---

of course not! Garlic is good for everybody, including dogs. Why did you give him garlic and then ask if he is going to die, are you experimenting or it was an accident?

---

No, but it'll have bad breath for a while..garlic is not toxic to dogs and some actually recommend it for a repellent.

---

I don't think so Garlic is bad for dogs but in big amount one clove is not going to kill hem just make sure you give your dog a lot of water and he will be fine, don't worry, just don't do it again, anyways why did you do it knowing that is bad??

---

I don't think so, but he's sure gonna have bad breath for a while.
TX mom

---

Only if he's a vampdog.

He'll be fine. Garlic won't hurt him.

---

Let me get this straight - you gave your dog something WITHOUT KNOWING whether it could harm your dog or not?
Next.

---

NO

---

No, and it may be actually good for him.
A pound of it would be harmful.

---

Why do people give there dog something, then turn around and then ask if it was ok... Maybe find out if something is ok before you do it, sorry to seem like a B@@@h but it is true...

---

Nope. Garlic is save for dogs. Just gives em baad breath. Dont worry abt it.

---

Oh my GOSH NO!! (Google pet poison) ~~~~ BUT GARLIC is so GREAT for the HUMAN BODY---unless your dog is less than 2 lbs --He/She should be fine!!! Really!!
Used to study with veterinarian @ MSU!!
Double-check-~~~HOWEVER ~~~~ I am certain you're all going to be fine FINE!! :)D
Roof!! PAWS UP HUH?
Truly--I love dogs would NEVER LIE@@@@ :)D

---

No, but it's not a good idea.. Garlic must be heated in order for it to release those properties that are helpful and healthy.. A clove of garlic does nothing but scare away vampires.. Also it's not healthy for your dog.
Garlic鈥檚 close relative, the onion, is actually the food that presents the highest risk of toxicity from thiosulphate. A single generous serving of onion can cause hemolytic anemia in a dog.
However, whether garlic contains enough thiosulphate and can be fed in high enough amounts to harm dogs is a matter of much controversy.

---

it was dead the moment it was plucked.

---

they say to only give a dog, dog food. but there is nothing wrong with one mess up. dogs will eat almost anything that appears to be food, my dog has eaten flowers off a plant and is still living. so don't feel bad the dog will live.

---

Are you trying to give things to your dog to cause it to die?

---

as long as you didnt force the dog to eat it
it should be ok
some people put garlic powder in the dogs food
supposedly to keep ticks at bay
i tried eating garlic to keep mosquitoes away from me
im sure it had the opposite effect,i was swarmed with the things,all it did was keep people away from me instead

---

He won't die but garlic is not good for dogs. It is not as toxic as onions, but it does cause red blood cell destruction.
