10 Foods to Never Feed Your Dog

3. Garlic, Onions, and Chives

While these aromatics make an excellent flavor base for cooking and offer health benefits to humans, they are not beneficial to dogs. Garlic, onions, chives, and leeks are part of the Allium family, and garlic is the most toxic. Alliums are harmful in any state — raw, cooked, dried or powdered — to dogs and can harm red blood cells which result in anemia. Also, the pungent properties can upset your dog’s stomach. Symptoms may take several days to appear, so if you suspect that your dog has eaten any of these foods, watch them carefully.
