Can dogs eat onion?
🧅 Toxic — never feed
Onions (raw, cooked or powdered) damage red blood cells and can cause anaemia. All forms, including onion powder in seasonings, are toxic.
If eaten: Watch for weakness, pale gums or dark urine and call your vet.
The bottom line
Do not feed onion to your dog — it is toxic and even small amounts can be dangerous. When in doubt, call your vet or a pet poison helpline.
For your dog's main diet, what matters most is the food itself. Paste your dog food's ingredients into the WoofScore checker to see how it grades.
