Actually, since she is such an obvious ditzell, you should take on the magazine editor for not having a clue about what he makes a living writing about.

She had her own brand of dogfood, called Delish. Wonder if they followed her recipe?

She has her Oprah gravy train going on, that's for sure. I wouldn't mind a car on that train, as long as I didn't have to hear her voice.

From this page:

Dogs develop hemolytic anemia if they eat enough onions. I don't think that it matters too much whether the onions are cooked or not. The quantity of onions required is high enough that dogs can generally tolerate small doses of onions without any problem and moderate amounts of onion without clinically apparent disease, even though there may be measurable changes on lab test results. Cats are probably a little more sensitive to onion toxicity than dogs are. I can't find an exact quantity of onions required to cause toxicity problems in dogs, but there are several case reports of onion toxicity and they involve whole onions or sizable portions of chopped onions (like a cup or more). I think that feeding dogs meat that has been cooked with onions is pretty safe but you might want to avoid giving them the broth from around something like pot-roast if there were a lot of onions used in the cooking, just to be safe.

The same kind of answer shows up in other places.

I give both our dogs meat that's been cooked with onions, and Wishbone is now 12 years old. They get chocolate as well, albeit in small amounts.

The interwebs is a great place for rumors ... now pardon me while I wire some money to this person who's emailed me from Nigeria ...

There was an episode of Good Eats where AB put the leavings from whatever he was making into his pet's bowl. No sign of the actual pet, but it did look like a dog dish, and he may have said "fido" or something. The leavings included cooked onions.

On reruns of that same episode, the text notes that it's okay to feed this to your pet (something else? crocodile, maybe) but that onions are not good for dogs.

There are a lot of people who don't know which human foods are harmful to dogs, cats and other pets. Apparently, no one on the Good Eats crew knew about the onions, but at least they fixed the problem after the fact.

I feed our dogs only Natural Balance with Fish and Sweet Potato and animal crackers and cat cookies from TJ's. The wheat and rice gluten scare scared me. So they will eat food without any gluten and children's cookies. I don't feed our dogs very much that is people food. Pizza crust, strong beans and some meat gristle. I highly recommend the string beans they even eat them frozen.

I'm with you there huneybumper. My dog was like an exuberant puppy until the moment she dropped at 15. Only got sick one time in her whole life. She almost never ate human food, except gizzards for Thanksgiving and the stuff she ate out of the garbage, the several + times she knocked it over and feasted when I wasn't home. It was really hard to not give her those treats, but it was a promise I had made to my wonderful cousin who gave her to me. Best gift I ever got.

@huneybumper~we do the same thing with cottage cheese and allergy tabs. The first time I asked my husband to do it--I was on my way out the door-- he said he was nervous that she would spit it out. Fear not, he was amazed at how she nearly took the spoon along with the cottage cheese and pill.
As far as RR, I just ignore her. She's kind of like the George Forman of the FN.

I must be the worst human in the world because every single one of my beasts have eaten people food all of their lives. I do not give them bones of any kind and Daisy couldnt eat any form of hot dog without throwing it all up. However, that being said, that big bitch ate a 3lb box of mixed chocolates and left the creams, a tray of those kids fundraiser pb easter bunnies, a Plen-T-Pak of Wrigleys Spearment, including the wrappers, enough garbage pecking to cause all of my neighbors to drink and my grandmother made her her own ice cream cone every single night of her life and held it for her until she ate the ice cream then gingerly took the cone!

She lived 14 years. Samantha is also 14 and had a plate of eggs/bacon/toast this morning. If I didnt know better, I think she may have wanted a bowl of juice.
