How toxic are onions to dogs and how much do they have to eat for them to be toxic? Does it effect all breeds or some more than others?
What are the signs to looks for if a dog gets a hold of some onion?

Good link Lisa. It takes a few days and some symptoms are labored breathing,
vomiting, diarrhea, discolored urine, hemolytic anemia and liver damage.
They may be small, but you should see their hearts. Shelter/Rescue dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter/rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness on your side. Anon

Yikes! That's scary! :scared1:
My dogs have gotten onions in the past. NO MORE!
Well someone here left a chicken pita souvlaki on the table tonight, was more then half eaten but had onions in it. And little Miss Mika somehow go to it while my back was turned for 1 minute and ate the rest of it!!! By the time I called the vet was too late to give her peroxide to make her vomit, more than 30 minutes had passed. :(
Just be prepared for gas that will peel paint off the walls, even if your walls aren't painted.
i read that broccoli is bad for dogs. I didn't know that and I'm sure they've had their share of broccoli in the past. Now that they're on diets, I've been looking for veggies to supplement their kibble and was surprised by what is not okay.

When I was a kid the vet used to tell us to put a few tiny pieces of onion and a few drops of safflower oil on the dog food as it was good for the skin and the coat. Guess they have discoverd new stuff......scary.
