But is this vegetable safe for your pet to consume? That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to answer today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leave-the-leek-out\">Leave the leek out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, is the simple answer. Do not share any food containing leeks with your dog (or cat for that matter) because this is poisonous to them. Leeks belong to the same family of vegetables as onion and garlic (the Allium family) and the chemicals within these foods can cause all sorts of problems for your pets. Aside from the gastro-intestinal issues that you\u2019ll have to clear up, they can also do serious damage to the animal\u2019s red blood cells, so if you think your dog has eaten any leeks, onions or garlic, get them to the vet, and maybe put a rug down in the car before you travel &#8211; the one you don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Onion-flavour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chives are another one to leave out of your dog\u2019s diet because this herb also shares a heritage with leeks and the like. Same goes for spring onions. Essentially, if it tastes or smells of onion or garlic, do not feed this to your pet, as this could have serious implications that could leave your best friend not very well at all. Always check the ingredients of any human food your share with your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while they might enjoy human food, we know that dogs prefer the tailor-made, bespoke dog food from tails.com.
