Ham, onions, and mushrooms, while a delicious meal for people, is not safe for animals. Onions in large quantities have been known to kill dogs. And yes, sometimes dogs get a fingernail sized piece and it probably won't kill a healthy large dog. However, don't encourage them to eat onions, including those growing in the yard. Mushrooms may not be safe for pets either. This is a quick protein and spice filled breakfast to begin a busy day. Treat this dish as a stir fry. In some cases, it can be left to simmer while preparing the day's lunch a few feet away.
