| I think the amount of garlic doesnt do any harm. They make garlic pills for dogs a a flea preventative.

| While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate (like onions), it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness. I just took a look at the ingredients and they sound great to me. Their website didn't have an actual list of all the ingredients, but what I saw looked very good. I would not be concerned about the garlic. In fact, I think I will give Nutro Ultra a try. I have been feeding Eukanuba for years and they love it and do very well on it, but with all the bad publicity about Iams and dog testing I have thought about changing to something else. |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | If it is available in your area, Brightlife Canine Formula By Nature, is a good food to serve the furbabies. High in Protein and other natural ingredients. I just went through a feeding problem but finally this week I think we got Jack and Jill back on kibbles. Seems they preferred the boiled rice and chicken over anything else but slowing I have been giving them the kibbles and I think they finally realize that that is all they are getting at meal time. There are many good products out there just find one your furbabies like. That's what is important. We went through Science Diet, Chicken Soup for the Puppy Soul, and Merrick and they did not like any of those. Finally hit it with Brightlife. Good luck!
