My daughter just dropped a garlic flavored crouton on the floor and Bella the speed demon got it! do you think this ok?

Call your vet first to check but if I was in that position I would try to make her throw it up. Garlic is not to be messed with. I hope nothing happens but I would be on the safe side and either call or take her to the vet.

I think she will be ok. Garlic and onions are not good for them, but a crouton is mostly bread with a little bit of garlic. I don't think you need to worry for 1 crouton; see how she does later and make sure she eats more of her food to balance it out.

I think she will be okay too

I know garlic isn't good for them, but I don't know if one little crouton could do any damage. When Rocky at a little bit of chocolate I freaked out! Come to find out, it was only a little bit and didn't even phase him. Call your vet to make sure. I hope everythings going to be OK!

I also think 1 crouton won't hurt Bella.

TJCYorkie · 10-26-2006, 12:32 PM

Bella will be just fine. I wouldn't worry! One crouton isn't going to affect your little baby, maybe if she'd gotten ahold of a handfull or more...then I would be worried.

Just keep an eye on her.

Alliec1 · 10-26-2006, 12:55 PM

Just make sure she drinks lots and lots of water and eats plenty of her food.

BamaFan121s · 10-26-2006, 12:57 PM

That should make for some lovely breath!

Josie has had garlic croutons before, usually they are accidents. She always seems okay. Don't worry. I think she'll be okay.

chattiesmom · 10-26-2006, 03:02 PM

Garlic is on the no-no list for doggies. It is very ironic that many dog TREATS and FOODS contain garlic as well as supplements. Go figure.

woodturningcrea · 10-26-2006, 03:40 PM

Our vet said the occasional smidge of garlic is ok but that's it.

YorkieRose · 10-26-2006, 04:29 PM

My girls eat croutons and lots of other human foods...never had a problem..Emee even eats lizards and earth worms..

ilovelouie · 10-26-2006, 04:55 PM

Thanks all for your replies....I have watched Bella closely all day and she ate and drank as usual....all seems well. Thank God...you just never know with these guys, so I got nervous.

Nancy1999 · 10-26-2006, 06:45 PM

Well, at least she doesn’t have to worry about any vampires on Halloween.
