What You Need to Know

Plain naan is a leavened flatbread made with white flour, yogurt, butter, and salt — none toxic in tiny amounts but all adding up to an inappropriate treat for dogs. Garlic naan is the serious concern — it contains real garlic or garlic paste which is toxic to dogs in any amount. Never give dogs garlic naan under any circumstances. A tiny piece of plain naan shared accidentally is unlikely to cause emergency but should not be offered intentionally.
