Yeah but how much onion is *actually* in Cheese and Onion crisps? They taste like a long car journey that's too warm

idk but they put straight onion powder usually and that's like concentrated onion. burgers from the shops are also unsafe since it's always got onion powder.



never feed em onion

He gets about 1/2 a crisp a bag and has done for several years. He's allergic to basically everything but the crisps don't set anything off.
Thank you for the warning though :)

no judgement, I just found this out after a lifetime of having family dogs, then I finally got my own dog and decided to look it up. Onions, garlic, and grapes, all mega bad for them. I feel like everyone just talks about chocolate and never the other stuff.

Oh no, I absolutely appreciate anyone wanting to share knowledge about dangerous foods for animals.
The raisins/grapes thing is really freaky, like, most dogs will be OK if they eat a few but some will go into instant kidney failure and no-one knows why.

"My Spanial is allergic to beef. There is a protein in it which causes his liver to shut down for about 2 weeks which means he can't eat till it recovers, so I have to keep at least two weeks worth of fat on him so if some idiot gives him a dog treat he won't die" is something I've said a good few hundred times to the people who just can't help themselves chiding me for having a overweight dog.

Oh hell, that's tough.
My boy is allergic, in that eating the wrong stuff gives him diahorrea or an itchy rash, its not going to kill him outright.
Having to protect your pup from actually dying because people are too stupid to acknowledge he literally can't eat the stuff they want to give him has to be insanely frustrating :(
My previous dog had a lifelong heart condition that she was on daily medication for. She was so frail for her whole life, that when the vet came to put her to sleep at the age of 16, he was visibly startled when he felt her. The poor little old lady had about 2 days to survive on if she ever fell ill, she was just that thin.
She was a bossy, tough aul baggage of a dog and took no poo poo from anyone until she got very very old :unsmith:

We had a cat who passed in his sleep in his radiator hammock days before he would have broken the world's oldest cat record (at that time 36 years 1 day), for a good decade he was a skeleton with a grey cat skin draped over it. Slightly blind but other than that he never had trouble going the toilet or needed any medication, and his only real problem was that he was the offspring of a black moggie who got at a pedigree siamese and had the voice, only his voice went at about age 25 but he didn't seem to know this so he would silently mouth his wowling for food.

Passing quietly in your sleep of extraordinary old age is about as good an end as any of us can hope for. That's a very fine kitty you had, and I'd happily give him gentle pats to help him on his way.

Thirty-Six? Good god! We had a long-haired cat my mom found somewhere a couple years before I was born. He lived to 22 and in fact was really thin for the last couple years. Died of kidney failure; vet who examined him before the euthanasia said his heart was strong.

It was weird having a cat older than me when I was in university. Towards the end, Mom reported that he started acting like a kitten, which was completely out of character for him.

Servals are cute but you shouldn't have one as pets if you already have a dog, there's a chance instead of just posturing and vocalizing at each other noncute things will happen, and then it's off to the vet for both of them.

Any time I think about how different the native fauna is outside of where I grew up (Western USA) I get weirded out. Of course, I'm sure other people would think sharing your metro area with moose would be terrifying. It's totally an artifact of the animals we grow up around being in the "normal" category while animals from other places are "weird".

Same at UC Santa Cruz where I went to school. It's not a cute story but it scared the poo poo out of me when I stumbled upon a half eaten deer while wandering around campus my first weekend of freshman year. I only actually saw a mountain lion on campus once though and that was a pretty awesome day.

...

The mountain lion—also known as the cougar, puma, panther, or catamount—is a large cat species native to the Americas. Mountain lions are large, tan cats. Their bodies are mainly covered in tawny-beige fur, except for the whitish-gray belly and chest.
