Is it bad for dogs to eat onions? I heard this from someone and I don't think it's true--I hope it's not! My Newf loves onions!

I would also like to know if there's really something wrong with onion - I just read it in a magazine today, and couldn't belive it. Misha also likes to eat onions - more that other kinds of vegetable.

Panda loves radishes. Would they be in the same catagory as onions?

What is auto immune anemia? Sven has ate them for almost 3 years now. If he stops now, do you think there is any remaining damage?

Thanks you for the effort. He'll never touch another onion! And either will our newest family member, a 7 month old female Chow/Lab mix(with Rot coloring) rescued from the Humane Society.

OK, now we know that onions are toxic to dogs, but what about radishes??? Radishes are the only treat that Panda likes. Her previous owner says that is all she could ever get her to snack on. Panda use to dig them out of her garden. Should we avoid radishes too????

That's funny that you bring up radishes, because my dogs like them too! Carrots, apples, watermelon...you name it. They like these treats so much that I sometime wonder if they forgot that they are dogs!

Anyway, I know a lady who works as a vet assistant and she is really up on the food and nutrition aspect of dog health. I asked her about radishes and she said that they are listed as OK to feed your dog as treats (like carrots). As with everything though, they should be given in moderation.

Thanks for the info on radishes. I have not given any to Panda in fear that they were bad for her. I will get some more today and let her have her favorite treat again
