Rachel Ray may know all about cooking for people, but she sure doesn't know dogs.
Modern Dog magazine profiled the Food Network diva in an online story spotlighting her new Rachel Ray "Nutrish" line of dog foods and included a recipe for "Isaboo's Butternut Squash Mac and Cheddar."
One small problem: The recipe calls for onion, of all things.
Hey, onions are toxic to dogs. They can kill your pet. Clearly, the magazine's editors didn't bother to check the ingredients before it was published. The original recipe has since been pulled from the site, with an editor's note pointing out that onions are NOT good for dogs.
It also includes this passage about onions: "... the amount included in the recipe is small when considered over the whole of the recipe. Furthermore, the recipe was inspired by Rachel's dog, Isaboo, but is intended for people to eat. Always check with your vet which foods are appropriate to share with your dog."
Better yet, simply omit onions from any recipe you create for your dogs. Better to be safe than sorry.
Credit for discovering the recipe (including onions) goes to Seattle Post-Intelligencer blogger Rebekah Denn, who writes "Devouring SEATtle."
