My Dog Brucie ( 28 lbs) got into my Bowl of my creamy Caulflower soup and it has organic Onion and Garlic in it, I stepped away from it for a minute and my husband said he caught Brucie eating and pulled him away from it- I am not sure how much her ate- ( I poured it back into the can to get an idea how much he had eaten- What was left from what I can see is that there is 1/2 can left-( I had eaten about three large tables.

Fortunately I doubt there was enough onion or garlic to cause a problem for Brucie. It takes a fairly large amount of either one to cause toxicity. If you wanted to be extra safe you could either call the Pet Poison Helpline to see if they have access to information that would help them estimate exactly how much onion and garlic was in the can, or you could ask your vet about checking a hematocrit level in 48 hours. Onions and garlic cause damage to the red blood cells and can cause hemolytic anemia but the signs are usually not apparent for a couple of days. www. Petpoisonhelpline.com
