If this makes you feel any better...I had a friend who fed Bruce unbeknownst to me nearly an entire piece of garlic chicken pizza, and he was absolutely fine, only a little gassy.

PLEASE DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR GIRL!
lol, sorry, I don't mean to laugh. Every dog has a different tolerance level, but a lot of the people on this site seem to think that the tad bit she had will likely hurt her and the reality it, that's HIGHLY unlikely-even if she was a 2 lb Yorkie.

Here's a quote to ease your worries, but otherwise call your vet and hope he's actually up to date on his information!

"Dogs develop hemolytic anemia if they eat enough onions. I don't think that it matters too much
whether the onions are cooked or not. The quantity of onions required is high enough that dogs
can generally tolerate small doses of onions without any problem and moderate amounts of
onion without clinically apparent disease, even though there may be measurable changes on lab
test results. Cats are probably a little more sensitive to onion toxicity than dogs are. I can't find
an exact quantity of onions required to cause toxicity problems in dogs, but there are several
case reports of onion toxicity and they involve whole onions or sizable portions of chopped
onions (like a cup or more). I think that feeding dogs meat that has been cooked with onions is
pretty safe but you might want to avoid giving them the broth from around something like
pot-roast if there were a lot of onions used in the cooking, just to be safe.

Large amounts of garlic will produce similar toxicity problems in both dogs and cats. I think that
the amount required is not likely to be eaten by a cat but there are probably a few dogs who
would lap up a container of spilled garlic.

Among common foods, the only other significant toxicity that I can think of are recent reports of
toxicity from eating grapes and raisins that have been reported in dogs.

Pete ate about an inch long slice of onion once and I freaked out. I called poison control to find out how much he would need to eat for it to be toxic, they told me they would call me back. About five minutes later they called back and told me for his weight (4lbs at the time) he would have to eat about 30 grams (which is not a 1 inch slice). Needless to say I could calm down after that. But it felt good to know that if I was ever in doubt I could call my local poison control center for my pets too.

Danielle,
Thankfully your little one is doing just fine.

You too!

Yeah, that's a guideline that they go by. But like I posted before, every dog (just like people) have a different tolerance level.

The BEST thing to do is be aware of this and keep an eye on your kid and when in doubt, call your vet.

There was a Mountain Feist one time (that belonged to an aquantance (sp?))that ate a HALF bag of one of those big bags of Hershey Kisses, wrappers and all! She only weighed about 12lbs and she never once, even to this day had any reactions to the chocolate. Most other dogs? Well, I think you could guess. The only issues she had w/ that ordeal was that she was pooping those dam* silver wrappers for a few days.

Poor girl.

you had to laugh at this thread ?? why ?

She just asked a question and most all said her yorkie will probably be ok - what's with the the comment about "all the people on this site" ?

that implied everyone is a drama queen here ....she was just getting some support for her post. No harm done - when I first got my Chanel EVERYTHING made me call my vet - because of the size of our yorkies we tend to worry more.

I have read several of her posts where she is making negative comments about YT members. I wonder why she is even a member here when she feels that way

Ha! ha! Earth worms and lizards are not on the the TEN THINGS NOT TO FEED YOUR PET list!!!

Ten Things You Should Never Give Your Pet

doubt if ONE crouton could have an effect but if you are worried, call the vet!

Good Luck and keep us posted!

Each dog will react a different way. While a "smidge" of garlic can be toxic to some dogs, it may not effect others at all. While a "smidge" of chocolate may kill one dog, it may not bother others. No one person can say that ALL dogs will have the same reaction...just as no two child will react the same way to something.

OP, you did right to watch your dog and to show your concern.

Looks like some of my posts were retracted.
