Risks:

Poisoning

Onions are toxic to dogs and should never be given in any form (raw, cooked, powder, etc.). Onions contain N-propyl disulfide which damages red blood cells, causing anemia and organ damage. The effect is cumulative, so repeated exposure to small amounts is harmful. Symptoms may be delayed. Keep dogs away from anything containing onion.

Please Note: I'm not a veterinarian or dietician.

I've strived to find accurate information and tried to remove any ambiguities. I've re-checked these items multiple times for accuracy, but it's always possible that something slipped through unnoticed. If anything's incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.

When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.

It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.

Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
