Onion is toxic to pets in all forms. It damages red blood cells and can cause anemia even through small or repeated exposures. Cooked, dried, and powdered forms remain unsafe. Avoid all onion-containing foods and seasonings.
Onions are pungent allium vegetables used in soups, sauces, roasts, and seasoning mixes in raw, cooked, dried, and powdered forms. Varieties include white, yellow, red, and sweet types.
One of the most common kitchen aromatics, onion is used as a flavor base in gravies, stir-fries, pizza toppings, and seasoned meats.
Exposure often comes from leftovers, gravies, soups, burger toppings, and spice blends. Onion powder is easy to miss on labels.
