Artichoke Dip is not a routine dog treat. Artichoke itself is not usually the concern; hot artichoke dip often contains garlic, onion, cheese, mayonnaise, and salt. Treat it as a recipe check, not a vegetable question. A small taste and a large raid are different situations, so check the recipe or package before deciding what to do.
