Aioli is a Mediterranean sauce made from garlic, olive oil, egg yolks, and lemon juice. While this sauce may be a tasty addition to human meals, it is not recommended for dogs to consume. Garlic, a key ingredient in aioli, can be toxic to dogs in large quantities. Additionally, the high fat content in aioli can lead to pancreatitis in dogs. It is best to avoid feeding aioli to dogs altogether.
In extreme cases where a dog has consumed aioli, it is important to monitor them for signs of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek veterinary care immediately.
Safer alternatives to aioli for dogs include plain cooked chicken or turkey as a protein source, and plain yogurt as a healthy addition to their meals. These alternatives provide dogs with necessary nutrients without the potential risks associated with aioli.
