19. Onions
Did you know that onions are part of the same plant family as garlic, chives, and leeks? Garlic may be the most toxic one of the bunch, but it’s recommended to keep your pet away from all of them. Pay special attention to food labels since sometimes snacks and biscuits can contain them in a powdered presentation, so you don’t accidentally feed them to your cat.

What happens if your pet eats it? The health risks are the same as with garlic: vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, weakness, and breathing difficulties. In severe cases, ingestion of onions can lead to anemia, which is characterized by a decreased number of red blood cells.
