- Onion, garlic & other alliums — on our hazard list for dogs & catsThe Merck Veterinary Manual and two other sources say: Onion, garlic, chives and leeks can damage red blood cells in dogs and cats and lead to anaemia — raw, cooked, dried or powdered. Cats are the more sensitive; for dogs it depends on how much is eaten. Powders are concentrated, so it can take less.

Guaranteed analysis
Up to 10% of this pack is water. The other 90% or more is the dry matter (the food) — and that is what the right column divides up: protein, fat, fibre, ash and carbohydrate, as shares of it. The left column counts the water in, which is why nothing in it can be compared with another pack.

These are guarantees, not measurements — minimums for protein and fat, maximums for fibre, moisture and ash. So ≈ marks a figure worked out from them rather than printed: close rather than exact. Read off the pack.
