Shallots resemble onions, but have a reddish skin, an elongated shape and a milder flavor than onions. These root veggies are related, however. Shallots can be used in recipes in much the same way onions are used. In fact, they can even be substituted for onions. Shallots also offer much in the way of essential nutrients; they have vitamins A, B6, & C, along with potassium, folate and manganese.
Can my dog eat shallots? Can my puppy eat shallots? Shallots, just like onions, are not recommended for your pup. They contain some of the same toxic compounds found in other members of the onion family. These compounds have the potential to cause anemia, irregular heartbeat, and the normal digestive issues. What if my puppy ate too many shallots? He would run the chance of developing digestive issues and/or toxicity. It’s best to avoid serving these veggies to your fur baby.
