Pen Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I have leftovers of stew that humans won’t eat . All ingredients ok for dog except onion. I don’t know if there’s much onion, but I am sure there’s some. Otherwise stewed Meat, carrots, celery... would you let dog have it ? Or a little along with other foods?

cintinative Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I'm not strict on this. I just pick out the onion. ETA: I am reading up on this and I am not sure I should even do what I am doing.

Pawz4me Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I'd pick out the meat and let the dog have that. Throw the rest away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet2ndchance Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 If a dog would eat it out of a trash can if they found it, I usually feel safe giving it to the dog. Honestly, until 5 minutes ago, I didn't know about dogs and onions being a problem. I'm sure I've fed them things with onions and we haven't had a problem in all the years we've had them. They are medium sized dogs in the 50 - 75 lb range. I'm pretty sure they would turn their noses up at raw onion if offered but small pieces in some cooked food, I'm sure they have eaten them. But then again, we live where the dogs catch their own snacks of birds, rabbits, rodents and other things. They often bring home carcass parts of animals that look thoroughly disgusting to me but the dogs are quite proud of themselves and have never eaten something that made them sick. I can't remember the last time one of them got sick to be honest. Both have a clean bill of health from the vet despite their diets. So I guess it is all in how much onion is in there and how much of a risk you are willing to take. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Big dog? A little won't hurt them. I'd mix it with their food, half and half. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Medium-big? ~70 pound dog (Lab x Dalmatian) Im sure he likes the go ahead and feed him it, or half and half ideas! Edited July 4, 2020 by Pen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 It’s surprising to me how many things I can’t give to my husky. At this point with any new food I google it. Did you guys know about raisins? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately our dog can and would and will eat anything that resembles food. So stressful taking her on walks. I’m even thinking of getting those collars where it shuts the dog’s mouth. Or maybe a cone. She tried to eat a chocolate cookie on the street and Dd had to pry it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, that's big dog size. Will be fine. It takes quite a bit of onion to cause anemia. 3 hours ago, crazyforlatin said: Unfortunately our dog can and would and will eat anything that resembles food.

She tried to eat a chocolate cookie on the street and Dd had to pry it out. Oh, a cookie won't hurt a big dog. Seriously. The saying the dose makes the poison is very true. Chocolate is dangerous, but it takes a LOT of chocolate to hurt a dog that size. Like, eating a bar of dark chocolate, or baking chocolate more likely. When a tiny dog eats a bunch of valentines day chocolates, it is dangerous. A chocolate brownie or cookie or whatever in a big dog? Not a problem (now, dozens would be bad, but one is fine) This is a calculator for chocolate toxicity https://www.vets-now.com/dog-chocolate-toxicity-calculator/ Edited July 5, 2020 by Ktgrok 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 A little bit of onion isn't a problem, though I'd probably pick it out if I could. Or just pick out the meat and carrots and toss the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
