    Onions are poisonous for dogs, lemons can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and depression - so that would be No - they cant digest any sort of currants either

    Not only is giving your dog Onions harmful, it's deadly. NEVER give your dog onions. As far as Lemon, why in the world would you want to give your dog lemon in the first place?

    Onions are poisonous to dogs and can be dangerous in large amounts.

    Lemons aren't really harmful but can cause diarrhoea.

    Apart from the fact that onions are toxic to dogs and why would a dog want to eat a lemon? Neither would make for an exactly necessary diet, for a dog!!

    Just don't do this.

    Onions are toxic to dogs and I would not recommend lemons for dogs.

    feed your dog on dog food or raw meat is the best advice.

    Why would anyone feed a dog lemons!!!!!!

    Or onions come to that!

    onion certainly can be harmful they are toxic to dogs as for lemons they are very bitter I doubt a dog would eat one therefore to tell you the truth

    Onions cause anemia and it will kill your dog. Lemons are very acidic and can eat the enamel off teeth.

    better not. Because these foods will stimulate the dog's gastrointestinal tract, causing inflammation only, but also affect the dog's sense of smell.

    If you fed your dog properly and fed nothing else, you wouldn't have any questions and/or worries.
