Oh wow! I had no idea! I've always heard it was bad because I know it's considered an onion but I just always thought since they made them for dogs that it was alright. I guess that's what I get for thinking though! I'm going to stop giving them to her and just give her the Derm Caps & her Comfortis every month and be done with it and hope for the best!
