Can my dog eat Leeks? 
Leeks are in the Allium family and are related to onions and garlic. Leeks have a taste similar to onions and are low calorie. They’re great for anyone who’s trying to lose weight, as they leave you feeling satisfied and full, without consuming too many calories. Leeks are an excellent source of Vitamins A, K, lutein, and more. Leeks are typically used in everything from soups and salads to side dishes.
Can my dog eat leeks? No, your dog should not eat leeks. Can my puppy eat leeks? No, they generally should avoid the same foods as an adult dog. All vegetables in the Allium family, including leeks, contain toxins that are dangerous for dogs (and other animals, including cats). They can cause everything from anemia to gastroenteritis, with the symptoms possibly not showing up for days after the leeks have been eaten. What happens if my puppy eating leeks? He could develop the medical conditions just mentioned and would possibly become very sick. If you suspect your dog or puppy have eaten leeks, then be sure to call your vet as soon as possible for treatment options.

Wow! so everything from leeks to garlic and onions are toxic to dogs? Do you know anywhere I can get a dog nanny? The rules and regulations seem to be too much for me to take care of my dogs alone.
Lol. Immediately I read that leeks are in the Allium family and are related to onions and garlic, I just knew that it is a no-no. But some people feed their dogs’ food with onion. I’m not sure they know what they’re doing. But it’s not really ideal.
Let’s just say they are ignorant because someone who knows that all these things contain toxins and dangerous to their dogs won’t feed it to them. I do not even want to recount my dog’s experience with leeks because it was a really bad one.
Jeez. This is scary already. If it can cause something to the dog and still not show symptoms until some time, then one has be extremely careful not to feed that to their dogs directly or in a meal for him. We really do not want him to become very sick.
