are dogs allowed garlic

Dogs should not be given garlic in any form—raw, cooked, powdered, or as a seasoning—because it is toxic to them. Garlic contains compounds like thiosulfate that can damage dogs' red blood cells, potentially causing hemolytic anemia and other serious health issues. Even small amounts can be harmful, especially to smaller dogs or those with preexisting health conditions. Symptoms of garlic poisoning in dogs may include weakness, pale gums, difficulty breathing, jaundice, and dark urine, often appearing 1 to 4 days after ingestion. Therefore, garlic is not safe or allowed to be fed to dogs.
