===Dogs===
* Onions/garlic - contain oxidative agents which are active in raw, cooked and dehydrated forms. Heinz body anaemias are most common in small breeds, suggesting a dose relationship and in breeds with naturally high levels of potassium, such as Akitas and Shar-Peis. <ref name="Schalm"></ref>
* Paracetamol - dogs lack N-acetyltransferase enzymes, inhibiting their metabolism of the drug. They are less sensitive to the effects than cats due to the higher stablility of their sulfhydryl groups. 200 mg/kg is a toxic dose with the recommended dose being 15 mg/kg tid. <ref name="Schalm"></ref>
* Zinc - toxic doses are usually ingested from three major sources - skin products such as sunscreen, zinc-coated objects such as toy parts and American pennies. Indiscriminate eaters and small breeds whose narrow pylorus traps foreign objects in the stomach are most likely to develop clinical signs. <ref name="Schalm"></ref>
===Horses===
* Dried red maple leaves - contain gallic acid, which may be involved in Heinz body formation. <ref name="maple>Alward A, Corriher C, Barton M, et al. (2006) Red maple (Acer rubrum) leaf toxicosis in horses: a retrospective study of 32 cases. '''J Vet Intern Med''' 20: 1197 – 1201</ref>
* Garlic - can be used as an antifungal agent in stock feed,
