Are they bad for dogs? Or are you mad cause you wanted them?
Technically it's poisonous to dogs, yeah. It's a mild poison, but like chocolate (and grapes and raisins), they shouldn't have it.

Grapes and raisins are a different class. Alliums and chocolate are bad, sure, but if your dog has a bad reaction to grapes and really raisins, it can be 2-3 raisins cause kidney failure. They’re not quite sure about the mechanism, only that it doesn’t take much and isn’t an always thing.
Oh yes, they're not a "mild" on the poison scale compared to like, grass onion and such.
Very true.
I know cultivated onion and garlic are definitely poisonous to dogs. (and cats) I'm not sure though if wild allium contains the same chemical, and in the same amount, but it would be likely, which could easily lead to the hemolytic anemia.
