My dog ate an onion piece with seasoning and stevia. Is she okay?

The dose of onion in dogs that is toxic is about 0.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. For a 10 pound dog, that would be about 20 grams of onion. There are about 5 grams in each teaspoon, so Marlin would have to eat over 4 tsp of onions in order to be concerned about toxicity. The biggest concern comes with dehydrated onions which are much more concentrated than fresh onions. It sounds like Marlin will be fine, but please contact your veterinarian if you have any concerns. I hope that was helpful! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Onion in toxic to dogs but it does not sound that Dakota has eaten large enough amount of onions to develop intoxication. The toxic dose of onion is about 15-20g/kg of bodyweight, so it means that Dakota would have to eat about 300-400 grams of onion (which is a whole large onion) to get into trouble. Please, keep an eye on her at home, she may develop mild signs of gastroenteritis (one vomit, mild diarrhea etc) but there should not be any other worrying symptoms.

A few pieces of onion ingested by a dog of Mochi's size will likely cause nothing worse than some minor stomach upset, if anything at all. She would need to eat 2 or 3 med/large onions in order to be at risk of serious toxicity. If she develops vomiting or diarrhea but continues to behave normally, you can fast her for 24 hours then feed a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to her regular diet afterwards.

For this small amount of onion, I think Nova will be just fine. Larger amounts of onion or garlic can cause damage to her red blood cells. If you notice any concerning symptoms, you should have her examined by your vet.

Hello. If it was just a one time small piece, he will be fine. A dog this size would have to eat a tablespoon or so of cooked onion to even begin to have any issues. He will be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It typically takes ingestion of about 0.5% of your pet's body weight of onion to be at risk of onion related toxicity. This calculates out to be approximately 0.15 lbs, or around 2 ounces. Unless your pet ate anything close to that amount or more, it is not recommended to do decontamination for him. With a piece of [onion](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/onions) that only weighs a few grams I would not be concerned. Just monitor him for the next couple of days for any GI upset, lethargy, panting or pale gums. And if he gets a hold of any more you can always contact the [Pet Poison Helpline](https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/). There is a charge associated with this call.

Hello, onion toxicity can cause anemia in both pets and humans. They need to consume a large amount of onion to have evidence of anemia. More likely, pets may develop GI signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, and a decreased appetite. The amount of onion powder in the sauce is likely not enough to cause any severe side effects to Par. You can be more certain about this by calling the Animal Poison Control at (888) 426-4435 and giving them the information about the ingredients and the quantity Par ingested. Hope this helps and best of luck.
