CarefulSkip it: almost always onion, garlic, salt and fat.
Stock cubes and gravy granules nearly always contain onion. Make a plain unsalted bone broth if you want to top their food.
What to watch for
Weakness, pale gums days later from onion; vomiting from fat.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
