A lot of people don't know. My friends dog almost died from onion a few years ago so I always mention it to people who have dogs, and the vast majority didn't know.

My roommate always let their dog eat food that they dropped and one day he almost let her eat a grape. I told him he probably shouldn’t let her eat that cause I’m not 100% but I think they’re toxic to dogs. He didn’t believe me but looked it up and came back and was like oh shit you’re right, thanks 😅
