Can dogs eat green onions?

Dogs cannot eat green onions. First of all, the smell of onions is quite pungent and can easily stimulate a dog’s sense of smell, causing it to sneeze and affecting its sense of smell. Secondly, onions are a pungent food that can irritate a dog’s intestines and easily cause diarrhea and vomiting. Onions contain disulfides, which can cause hemolytic anemia in dogs. If a dog eats onions, his urine will be obviously red, and will turn black and red over time. If not treated in time, the dog will die.

Tips:

Onions, shallots, scallions, grapes, chocolate, etc. are all things that dogs must not eat.
