Yes, snails may be toxic to a dog. Fresh water snails can carry rickettsial organism. The symptoms last around 5-7 days. They include fever, vomiting, diarrhea (usually bloody or bright yellow in color), and some other not so pleasant symptoms. If left untreated it has up to a 90% mortality rate. This same condition can be picked up from eating raw fish, especially salmon.

∙ 10y agoThe term 'garden snail' is considered a common name, therefore it is difficult to determine what species of snail you are talking about with this generalized name. It is always better to be safe than sorry, so always wash your hands immediately after touching a snail, or any other animal for that matter. This is important because snails can carry parasites, bacteria, and possible zoonotic pathogens that can be harmful to humans.

∙ 12y agoI don't think so, as long as you wash them and everything. People eat Escargot (snails) in Europe all the time.

What don't garden snails eat?
Well, I think garden snails don't eat a lot of things. On the other hand, garden snails DO eat green vegetables for sure, though I find that they do eat carrots a lot too. They probably won't eat these things (I will only list a few):gumcerealmeat of any kind (they're vegetarians)milkcandyetc...These garden snails pretty much won't eat anything that we can't eat. If we don't eat glue, garden snails don't eat glue. It makes sense, right?Garden snails don't eat anything but what you would find in your garden, no hot dogs or gum. I have only given my captive garden snails: lettuce, cucumber, strawberries, spinach, and carrots. Garden snails shouldn't eat any kind of citrus or any manufactured food, or food that was made people and planted by people.

Are garden snails poison to a dog?
I am doing an "educated guess" right here, and I suppose it is right. My educated guess is that garden snails in particular are NOT poisonous to dogs, though I wouldn't suggest to feed your pet dog garden snails. First, people can eat garden snails, and if it isn't poisonous to us at all, I doubt it will be poisonous to dogs. Also, I play with garden snails all the time, and if you think their slime has poison, that's totally wrong! I touch the slime all the time, and nothing bad happens to me!

Can you eat garden snails?
yep I researched this question and found that yes you can eat garden snails, although they are not the most recommended snail to eat. Helix aspersa (small grey snail) and Helix pomatia (or Roman snail) are more popular. You can use garden snails from your garden, but snails from your supermarket in case the snail has any pesticides that could be harmful. If you prepare your Helix Aspersa (Garden snail) the right way then you can definitely eat it. I hope I helped you!
