Millions of us love to liven up our meals with onions, garlic, or perhaps even both. Although you may love it, don’t make the mistake of feeding it to your dog. Both onions and garlic can promote the destruction of red blood cells in canines, which can lead to anemia. Even the onion powder that is found in some foods can be a problem for dogs.
