Why It's Dangerous

Chives cause the same oxidative damage to red blood cells as onions and garlic. They are commonly grown in herb gardens and are a frequent accidental ingestion. Even a small amount of chive butter or cream cheese can cause toxicity.

Symptoms to Watch For

Vet Guidance

Seek veterinary advice. Small dogs are at higher risk due to lower body weight.
