I need a serious answer i have a 10 week old lhapso and my grandpa just gave him 2 cheese and onion crisps one of the ONLY thing i said they cant have how dangerous is this

  • He'll be fine. As far as I know, garlic and onions isn't really a "suddenly death" poison for them, its more like "maybe tummy upset" and "bad for their organs if they eat it all the time'. 

  • Make sure he has access to water and it'll likely be fine. I have 2 teenagers, 2 cats, and a dog... the animals routinely scarf up the sour cream and onion chips (along with Fritos, Takis, etc.) that the teenagers drop.

    Give your vet a quick call if you're concerned though. Have the chip brand/flavor ready so they can look them up.

  • Onion is toxic but if they are the chips that come from a bag I would not be too worried. Have a talk with your family and explain that they are not allowed to give the dogs those types of foods because it can make them very sick. Make a list of things the dog can't have and put it on the wall too so they can see it.

    They litreally dont listen though ive already did this but because there older “they know better” im 17 turning 18 and they just wont listen and ik this dog will become sick if they dont

    If you are on good terms with your vet - or even the receptionist at the vet office, you can always ask if they would be willing to talk on the phone with your grandparents just to back up what you are saying that certain foods are off limits for the dog. It might make them actually take it seriously.

  • ASPCA is based in Champaign, Illinois, and handles questions from the public much like IPC does for human poison exposure—24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If your pet or livestock ingested a potentially harmful substance, contact ASPCA experts by calling 1-888-426-4435.

  • is this your dog? you mentioned in a comment you’re only 17, so i’m just curious if this is a family dog. while feeding dogs things like this (a couple chips) is generally not good for them, two chips shouldn’t really do anything. if this is a family dog though, sadly all you can do is try to stress how much you care about doing the absolute best for the dog. if they don’t care about the food being unhealthy for the dog, maybe try the angle of not wanting the dog to learn to beg for human food. as feeding them human food lends itself to teaching them to beg for it. wishing you the best as a 24yr old who no longer visits home w my dog because my parents refuse to listen.

    Ive already tried doing what your saying he doesnt even come to me for food anymore because he knows he wont get it but as soon as i dont he goes to my mum barks and stuff and she will ofcourse give him it and yes he is my dog i do the training which is going well but honestly this feels impossible when all my family does is reset all buts if training i try

    i know exactly how you’re feeling. when i first got my pup, i had an apartment lined up. they messed up the lease and i had to take the pup and stay at my parents for about two months. i still trained him as i had planned, but my parents poor choices and their dogs poor behavior definitely made him develop poor habits and behaviors he hadn’t had prior to being at my parents. additionally, my mom got a puppy the exact age as mine out of jealousy when she got news i was getting a puppy. they did not put any time or attention into their puppy- but i planned and prepped to give my puppy all the attention he needed to set him up for a great life. my moms puppy clearly saw the imbalanced treatment, and developed littermate syndrome for my pup. he ATTACKS my dog anytime they’re together. completely unprompted. he’s attacked my dog while mine was sleeping! my mom had to get stitches after separating them one day and still refused to see or acknowledge an issue. i have not taken my dog to my parents house in about a year and a half. and with that, i can only ever visit for a few hours at a time every few months now (im in a new state so traveling far, without my pup is complicated). i miss my family so much. i hate never seeing them. but i refuse to put my dog and i’s health and safety on the line because they refuse to learn or care. do your best to make your boundaries clear, but know some people will never bother to care. and that’s not your fault! continue to do what you can to give the pup the best care !

    That sounds horrible but i do understand your situation and yes i am the same my pups definitely building bad habits including Really hard biting this is because my uncle and more play fight him… and my auntie has 2 dogs one is a bit older and is growling and warning him all the time lol but its always worrying thinking anything can happen at anytime
