No. Clove could be toxic to dogs.

So, you bought a new toothpaste that has clove oil in it. Do you think your dog could use it for freshening its doggy breath? That brings us to the question – is clove safe for dogs?

No, please avoid giving clove or clove oil to dogs. Cloves contain eugenol which is toxic to canines. Sure, eugenol is beneficial to humans thanks to its anti-inflammatory benefits, but it isn’t the case for dogs.

In small quantities (like half a piece of a tiny clove) or a couple of drops of clove oil won’t harm your dog but, in large quantities, it could result in symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc. Studies showed that a 10 kg dog could be poisoned by just 2.4 g of clove or clove oil. Note that dogs have died after consuming cloves and clove oil.

When it comes to dogs, we humans need to prepare for all kinds of situations. If your fur buddy has swallowed a lot of cloves or licked the essential oil of the spice, please see your vet immediately.

To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping you pup healthy.
