Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I wouldn't worry about the onions and garlic per se. Please be careful giving dogs too much fat as that can cause pancreatitis and pancreatitis can be severe. I wouldn't advise ever giving straight fat to dogs. Plus he is very young to get foods like that. Signs of pancreatitis are: belly pain, lethargy, vomit and/or diarrhea, not eating. The fat, onions, garlic can cause stomach and intestinal upset as well which would look very similar to pancreatitis. It is hard to say if the panting he is doing is related to what he was fed, panting can be a sign of pain. But puppies can breath fast when they are sleeping. If the panting continues or any of the other above signs occur he should be taken tot the vet. i wish you the best!
