Original instructional diagram for Onion Exposure Records: Account for Form and Repeated Ingestion. Values, when shown, are illustrative; clinical images do not recommend a dose.
Record form as well as amount
Raw, cooked and powdered allium ingredients do not provide one interchangeable exposure description. Mixed foods can make the eaten amount difficult to determine. Keep the package, recipe information and the timing available for veterinary assessment.
Use Dog Onion Toxicity Calculator to work through these inputs while keeping the displayed assumptions in view.
Repeated exposure is outside one simple ratio
A grams-per-kilogram result for one reported event does not summarize every earlier ingestion or predict a clinical outcome. No safe threshold is supplied. Contact a veterinarian rather than using an uncertain amount to rule out concern.
This question belongs to the Dog calculators group within Biology calculators.
Read the calculation on its stated basis
Reported exposure = estimated grams of food eaten ÷ body weight in kg.
This is an exposure record, not a safe-dose or home-treatment tool. Seek prompt veterinary advice.
Retain the input definitions and units with the result. A later comparison should use the same basis; a change in method is a new scenario, not simply a more precise version of the old number.
Keep related questions separate
Dog Quality of Life Calculator addresses a related part of the measurement or interpretation task. Check its own method before carrying a value from one tool to the other.

For tools in other subjects, return to GreenCalc. Keep the calculator result with its assumptions rather than using a link or a matching unit as evidence that two models are interchangeable.
