If in doubt, always call your vet or the Animal Poison Line immediately.

Why It's Dangerous

Hummus is made from chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, and very commonly raw garlic, which is toxic to dogs. The garlic content is usually the main concern rather than the chickpeas or oil themselves.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Weakness and lethargy (garlic toxicity)
  • Pale gums
  • Abdominal discomfort

Vet Guidance

Contact your vet given how commonly hummus contains raw garlic as a standard ingredient, not just an occasional addition.
