Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2005 11:03 pm FYI Chocolate & onions
for those that are interested...all chocolate is not the same
What's toxic is an ingredient in pure cocoa - milk chocolate is generally less bothersom than cooking chocolate. Essentially, the darker it is, the more toxic it is for animals.
Of course, the reverse is true for people. Go figure.
And yes, onions are also toxic to canines, not sure about anybody else. Onion in *any* form coagulates the blood. Again, small amounts may not be noticeable, however larger amounts all at one time can be be a serious problem.
