Beware of Onions
Onions cause a blood disorder in dogs called Heinz body anemia.  This is a
change in red blood cells, causing them to become misshapen, weak, and
eventually disintegrate.  It can be caused by any form of onion - cooked,
raw, dehydrated.  The effect is cumulative.

Be careful of Gerber babyfood meat - they've recently added onion powder to
their meat products for flavor.  I know a lot of us use babyfood when our
Silkys are sick or stop eating.  Don't know about other brands, or even if
it's something that would be listed on the labels.  Don't know if vets are
aware of this change in Gerber's.
