No, chives are a part of the Allium family which leak toxicity and are very poisonous to dogs.
Follow-up commentary Like onions and garlic, chives possess extreme toxins that can result in serious illness for dogs. Gastroenteritis is a common diagnosis if your dog has ingested chives. Symptoms include nausea, oral irritation, drooling, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
More seriously, damage to red blood cells due to low oxidation can cause cells to rupture. Anemia will occur causing pale gums, lethargy, elevated heart rate, and heavy panting.
Allium is a natural heart relaxer, causing poor circulation and full body weakness. Chive poisoning can occur many days after consumption, and by that point it might be too late.
