My sister in law just said tha my neice just read in the National Geographic that garlic is not good for dogs. I was under the impression that it was all right.

If it is toxic to dogs all of mine should be dead because they get about 1,500mg a day with the pills I give them.

That's what I thought.

Thanks

It is toxic to ME...I get migraine headaches, nausea, etc. Really nasty. Can't even stand to smell it because of what it does to me : ) Sure don't want to smell it on the dog's breath!!

I believe I read somewhere that you should not give more than one clove for every 20 pounds.....otherwise it can be toxic.

I have heard it can be toxic to dogs but has to be in very hi dosages.

Garlic
Much like onions, Garlic contains thiosulphate, the dangerous toxin that poisons dogs. However garlic is also good for dogs in small amounts as it acts as a natural flea repellant. Use garlic in tiny portions and in strict moderation.
