Can my dog eat burger?
No.
Salt, sauce, onion, a fried patty and often cheese. A bite isn't an emergency.
Already ate it?
If they ate itA bite is fine. A whole burger is a lot of fat and onion for a dog: call your vet today.
Watch forVomiting, diarrhoea, refusing food or a hunched, painful belly over the next 1–2 days (fat); weakness, pale gums or dark urine 3–5 days later (onion and garlic).
Thinking of giving it?
WhyA plain unseasoned patty on its own would be fine. Nothing about an actual burger is plain.

A guide, not a diagnosis. If your dog seems unwell, call your vet.
Nothing on the never list is in a Wagbowl bowl. No onion, no garlic, no salt.
