Good question! Onions in larger quantities are toxic to dogs but Milo should be fine with that amount. Also for your information there is a poison control call line for animals should you have other poisoning questions in the future. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Milo.
