Hope you never eat anything with, among other things, onions or garlic.
- marcus0x62 3y agoMy dog (a dachshund/rat terrier mutt) once dug up and ate whole bulbs of garlic from our garden. Terrified, we took him to the vet. The vet said "if garlic was likely to hurt terriers, there would be no terriers." I'm not suggesting anyone run out and feed their dog a bunch of garlic on purpose - that would be dumb - but if you look at the toxicity data, a 30 lb dog would need to eat something like 200 grams of garlic to have a serious problem.
- linsomniac 3y agoTruth be told (which will stick it to the "that's disgusting" response), we don't do it very often, and definitely try to stay away from the bad-for-dogs foods (onions, garlic, grapes, chocolate). The bulk of the pre-washing happens in the dishwasher or in the sink.

As with many things, the risk is highly overstated -- so please stop spreading FUD. ---- "Onion poisoning is consistently noted in pets who consume more than 0.5% of their body weight in onions." https://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-onions https://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-onions ---- "Consuming as little as 2 grams per pound of your dog’s weight can cause observable changes in a pet's stomach, and larger amounts can damage the blood. For reference, each garlic clove weighs an average of 5 grams. For a medium-sized dog weighing around 25 pounds, treatment will be needed if they ingest 50 grams of garlic—approximately 10 cloves, or half of a garlic bulb." https://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-garlic https://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-garlic ---- Unless you're literally feeding your dog a dish with onions and garlic, it isn't an issue.
