I always find it interesting that onions and garlic are toxic to dogs. It was big news to me about a year ago.– didn't people used to feed garlic tabs to dogs?
My dogs have always been given onion and garlic and have lived long and healthy lives.
When my golden/mix was sick about five years ago w/pancreatitis, she nearly died. The vet was sure she was a goner, and in fact I brought her home from the vet hospital so the kids could spend a few days with her before she died. Teh vet loaded her up on antibiotics and fluids, and sent her home "to die" Lived on ice chips for a few days, and when she didn't die, I began moving her back on to food I started with fresh chicken broth, then over the course of a few days I added onion, and garlic, and then little bits of chicken, then carrots, etc.
The dog that was on death's door thrived on that "soup", and is now 13 and able to wrestle and run with Jazzy like a much younger dog would.
I don't give them onion and garlic now, but am baffled because I'd always thought those were healthy options!
