                                While a beloved cooking ingredient for humans, garlic is highly toxic to dogs and cats, even in small amounts. Garlic poisoning, or allium toxicity, is not a typical foodborne illness in humans but rather a significant risk for pets, while in people, it is usually linked to specific handling mistakes or sensitivities.
