The full answer
ASPCA lists dill as non-toxic to dogs, and PetMD's pickles article also says dill itself is safe.
This page covers dill as a plain culinary herb, the small amounts used in cooking. The veterinary guidance we reviewed doesn't give a feeding amount, so treat it as a flavouring, not a food in its own right.
Dill is often used in pickles, sauces and dips, which can contain salt, garlic, onion or dairy. Those dishes aren't covered here.
Risks and Things to Know
- Dill pickles are salty and are not recommended (see Pickles).
- Dill sauces and dips may contain garlic, onion or other unsuitable ingredients.
- ASPCA notes skin irritation only with prolonged skin contact with the plant.
How much is okay?
A small sprinkle of fresh dill on food, about what you'd use in cooking, is plenty.
How Should I Prepare It?
- Plain fresh or dried dill, chopped into food.
- Not in pickles, sauces or dips.
