Can my dog eat daal?دال
A little.
Plain boiled lentils are fine. Daal as it's actually cooked — with onion, garlic, salt and tarka — is not.
Thinking of giving it?
How much is fineOnly if you've set some aside before the tarka. A spoonful or two mixed into food.
WhyLentils are a safe protein and fibre source. The problem is never the daal, it's everything cooked into it.
Already ate it?
If they ate itA few licks of cooked daal: watch for an upset stomach. A whole bowl cooked with onion and garlic: see the onion page and call your vet if your dog is small.

A guide, not a diagnosis. If your dog seems unwell, call your vet.
Nothing on the never list is in a Wagbowl bowl. No onion, no garlic, no salt.
