* Garlic and Onions: Garlic and onions are toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. They can cause damage to red blood cells and lead to anemia.
* Mustard: While not as toxic as garlic, mustard can cause stomach upset and diarrhea in dogs. The high salt content can also be problematic.
Even a few pieces can be dangerous, especially for small dogs.
What to do if your dog eats marinated chicken:
* Monitor closely: Watch for any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite.
* Contact your vet: If you notice any symptoms, immediately call your veterinarian. They can advise you on the best course of action.
Safe alternative:
* If you want to share some chicken with your dog, cook plain, unseasoned chicken breast and let it cool completely.
Always remember, it's best to err on the side of caution when it comes to your dog's diet. Consult your vet for any questions or concerns.
