(13,776 posts)I wouldn't let a really small dog have one (we're careful because two of the three dogs in our lives are small), but it looks like a dog Bailey's size would have been okay.
"Any member of the Allium familyonions, garlic, leeks, and chives are the most common reported to cause toxicitycontains N-propyl disulfide, says Dr. Ann Hohenhaus, staff doctor at NYC's Animal Medical Center. This compound damages the oxygen-carrying substance found in red blood cells called hemoglobin.
This kind of damage can cause red cells to rupture and be cleared from circulation faster than normal. This condition, hemolysis, results in anemia and red or brown urine. In severe cases, the anemia may lead to internal organ damage, organ failure, or even death, says Konecny. If your pet has eaten any garlic or onions he or she may also experience gastrointestinal irritation.
"Consumption of as little as 15 to 30 g/kg in dogs has resulted in clinically important hematologic changes, says Hohenhaus. Onion toxicities are consistently noted in animals that ingest more than 0.5% of their body weight in onions at one time. So, think that one fourth of a cup can make a 20-pound dog sick. Toxicity can occur whether the products are fresh, cooked, or in a dried/powdered form such as in spices. Onions and garlic can also cause anemia when smaller amounts are eaten over a long period of time.

Zeus will watch the food until the human (me) isn't looking. Then BAM! Gone! Zeus has mastered the sneak, grab and go method. This includes taking all stolen food to the family room rug to consume. FYI - Target rugs clean up pretty good. 😄
