ONIONS in all their forms - raw, cooked, dry and powdered - are toxic to dogs, even when they are just an ingredient in soups and casseroles. It's not clear what quantity needs to be eaten, so it's best to avoid them entirely if feeding your dog leftovers.
洋蔥的各種形式——生的、熟的、幹的和磨成粉的——對狗來說都是有毒的，即使它們只是湯和砂鍋菜的一種配料。不清楚需要吃多少，所以最好完全避免它們，如果餵你的狗剩菜。
