Immediate verdict: Shallots are strictly forbidden for dogs. Much like garlic and onions, they are highly toxic to your pet.
Why are shallots toxic to dogs?
Shallots contain thiosulfate, a substance that dogs cannot digest. This compound destroys red blood cells and causes fatal hemolytic anemia.
Symptoms of poisoning
If a shallot is consumed by a dog, signs of toxicity include weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, dark urine, and breathing difficulties. It is important to note that these symptoms can appear several days after ingestion.
What to do if ingested?
Contact a veterinarian immediately. Do not induce vomiting without professional medical advice.
