My large dog ate some gravy with onion powder. Will he be okay?

My 80 pound boxer tank ate a small piece of carrot that cane from a Marie calendar frozen dinner. It didn’t have any onion on it but I’m not sure if the roast gravy had onion powder or not. The box was trashed and I couldn’t find it or anything online. I’m just worried he will get sick. Any help would be appreciated! He seems fine but I know onion can kill dogs.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not likely to be an issue at all. This if it had any onion powder was likely a tiny amount and he is a large dog. I would not be concerned about this. Good luck and have a great day!
