Japanese bunching onions are called by many names, including scallions, green onions, spring onions, etc. These small onions are used raw in salads, cooked in pastas, stir fries, soups and more. Japanese bunching onions are packed with Vitamins A, C, & K, potassium, manganese, folate, calcium, iron and more.
Can my dog eat Japanese bunching onions? No, as with other onions, these are not good to feed your dog. Can my puppy eat Japanese bunching onions? No, never give you puppy any type of onion. As with other types of onions, green onions contain compounds that can make your puppy or dog very sick. It doesn’t take much for them to develop a serious medical condition that could be avoidable. What would happen if my puppy ate Japanese bunching onions? He would become sick very fast and either develop a serious form of anemia or onion toxicity if he ate a large amount. If you believe your dog or puppy has eaten a large amount of onions (more than one or two small pieces), then it’s a good idea to contact your vet and get an appointment as soon as possible.

Am I the only one whose dog is usually comfortable eating onions? Sometimes I use it to garnish his food and he swallows it happily. I don’t notice any problem with him but I want to be sure he’s not going to develop something later on in the future.
Uhmm. I don’t really think it’s healthy feeding your dog any type of onion even if they like it. Onions contain compounds that can make your puppy or dog very very sick. If they don’t react to it at first, you never know what’s happening to their system. They can develop a serious medical condition if you aren’t careful. So I’ll suggest you stop feeding them onions as it should never be a part of their diet for health reasons.
Your dog may well be on his way to becoming very sick or developing onion toxicity. Don’t delay. Just go straight ahead and contact your vet doctor to get you an appointment as soon as possible so your dog can be checked fast.
How timely this is. I just went grocery shopping and my puppy was grappling the bunch of spring onions, thankfully he didn’t put it in his mouth as at when I found this. I would definitely keep onions away from him.
