Scallions, also known as spring onions, are related to onions and have a long green stem with a white bulb at the end. The flavor is similar to onions, too, but not as sharp or pungent. They’re used in many types of dishes including soups, stews, in salads and even stir fries. Scallions don’t fall short in nutrition, either; they contain vitamins A, C, E, & K, calcium, potassium, copper, iron and more.

Nope. Scallions are never dog-friendly. Not even if your food tastes so good and he’s giving you ‘the eyes’. It contains compounds that are toxic to them and can cause things like anemia.
Well, the fact that the flavor is similar to onions is already a turn-off. Dogs aren’t supposed to be fed anything onions at all.
Oops! This is serious. I never would have thought scallions aren’t good for pups. However, I got a quick question. Is this only limited to scallions or also applicable to the entire onion family?
Hmm.. That’s a reasonable question you have asked. But I have always heard that onions are not good for pups too. I’m not 100% sure anyway!
