Curry safety for dogs
Curry is a recipe category, not one ingredient, and should not be offered to dogs. Many curries contain toxic onion or garlic plus irritating chili, excess salt, dairy, fat, or unsafe spices such as nutmeg. After an exposure, check the ingredients; if onion, garlic, chives, or leeks are present or the recipe is unknown, contact your veterinarian or ASPCA Animal Poison Control at (888) 426-4435 immediately.
