Why It's Dangerous

Hoisin sauce is high in sodium and sugar and often contains garlic as a core ingredient, adding an allium toxicity risk on top of the usual salty-sauce concerns.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Excessive thirst
  • Lethargy
  • Signs specific to garlic toxicity if present

Vet Guidance

Check ingredients if possible, since hoisin sauce very commonly contains garlic. Contact your vet if a significant amount was consumed.
