A large breed dog would need to ingest about 2 tsp of onino powder for it to be considered toxic. If there is this much in the beef stock pot cube, then I would air on the side of caution and get Treacle seen by your vet asap. Symptoms of onion toxicity are: Depression, inappetence, tachypnea, tachycardia, weakness, exercise intolerance, icterus, and red to brown colored urine may occur. I hope that Treacle didn't ingest that much. If you are having a hard time figuring out how much is in hte pot cube, then repost your question with the ingredients list and serving size, we may be able to figure this out for you. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope that Treacle will be ok moving forward. Take care.
