| My dog ate onion powder I was eating BBQ potato chips, dropped one on the floor, and Leo scapped it up. I tried to get it from him but he ran and went under the couch and ate it..I read the ingredients, and there's onion powder! Now i'm a little worried

| I'm not sure how much concern there would be over the amount of onion powder in a single chip, but I can tell you that a plain, unsalted potato chip gave Max a belly ache. Max is a big boy with a sturdy stomach too. Dad dropped the chip on the floor. Keep a close eye on Leo and know your way to the ER just in case. Hoping he will be fine.

| One or two chips shouldn't cause a severe problem. The danger with onions is if they are consumed over a 2-3 day period, or a large amount at one time (in which case I would induce vomiting, IMHO).

| I agree I would be more worried about the fat than the onion powder. Hope he's ok though. Uni got a bout of pancreatitis from eating a single stir fry noodle (skinny noodle) off the ground when she was younger. Was sick for about 2 weeks with bloody diahreah.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I think he will be ok. Just watch him for any signs of an upset tummy.

| But Uni is prone to pancreatitis, so may not be the same as your baby. This noodle was stir fried in oil, and had onion, garlic, fat, etc though. Live and learn, never again!
