Yes, dandelions (Taraxacum officinale) are generally safe for dogs to consume in moderation. They belong to the Asteraceae family and are often found in gardens and lawns. Dandelions are known to have some health benefits, as they are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like potassium and iron. However, if a dog eats large quantities, it may experience gastrointestinal upset, such as diarrhea or vomiting. It's always best to monitor your dog and consult a veterinarian if you notice any adverse effects after consumption.<|im_end|>

Dandelions are not harmful to dogs. They can eat them if they want, but you should probably check if your dog is allergic or has a sensitive stomach.<|im_end|>
