Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Ya know, I always see onions in lists like this... are chives not onions? WHen Chloe can reach the chives, they're nibbled to nubs, and she's never had a problem! Unless it means the bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I think onions could fall into the group of causing problems over time (for dogs at least) kind of like grapes for dogs, a few may not hurt, but constantly over time is not good for them (there are many things, foods that are like that for people I suppose-cheetoes over time are not good for you, a few may not make a difference?) It would make sense that the bulb or actual onion would be stonger and contain more of the problematic juices/substances?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Goodness gracious, there is a HUGE list of plants dangerous to cats! maybe I'll go to hanging baskets...sheesh...did I see tomatoes on that list? I did think it was ironic. Bluebonnets are on the dangerous list, and one of our cats is actually named Bluebonnet...:>) Thank you for sending the list and going to the trouble of finding it, I reallllly appreciate your thoughtfulness!
