Comment on How to deal with Onion Toxicity by Jana 15 March, 2010, 3:37 pm
Oh my goodness, I was hoping everybody knew this by now! I was also hoping that people don’t give dogs the items listed here. Though my mom’s friend, back in my old country, feeds her dogs pasta with liver fried in onions. I explained this to my mom, and she tried to get through to her friend, but for some reason the friend is just stubborn about this. I don’t understand why, it is not more work to omit the onions from the food, it is actually less work. And if she’s worried about palatability, the dog is already extremely obese! I guess one can’t win them all. So I guess people need to be reminded of these things regularly.

How is it with dogs utilizing omega-3 from flaxseed then?
