Feeding Onions and Garlic
Applies To:
All Lifestages
Although the recommendation to feed onion or garlic to pets is quite popular in the lay press, and allowable under current US AAFCO regulations, we do not recommend feeding garlic, leeks, onions and chives to dogs or cats because there is a potentially serious downside. Members of the Allium family (garlic, leeks, onions and chives) contain organosulfoxides, in particular, alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides. Cooking or spoilage of Allium plants does not reduce their potential toxicity.

Omega 3 fatty acid supplements
Applies To:
All Lifestages
There is much confusion about feeding omega 3 fatty acids. We are most specifically interested the fatty acids Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) which promote a lessened inflammatory response. These two fatty acids are found in fish oil but not all fish oils contain these two fatty acids.
