Pete ate about an inch long slice of onion once and I freaked out. I called poison control to find out how much he would need to eat for it to be toxic, they told me they would call me back. About five minutes later they called back and told me for his weight (4lbs at the time) he would have to eat about 30 grams (which is not a 1 inch slice). Needless to say I could calm down after that. But it felt good to know that if I was ever in doubt I could call my local poison control center for my pets too.
