drdouggie, are you a vet? PLEASE answer this question because your name suggests that you are.

I know a bit about homeopathy and the principle of treating like with like.

Do you have personal or specific knowledge that what the vet in this thread said is wrong?

Just so you know the vet did not say to feed the dog or cat onions, but rather use allium, onion in an incredibly reduced concentration.

Here is just one other source of many that also suggests allium for cats and dogs
