| Fleas and Garlic?? Hi, I have read a few things about giving my dog garlic powder in her food to kill the fleas she has. Has anyone tried this?? How long does it take to kill them?? Are there any health risks w/giving them garlic powder? |

| I too wanted to use a bit of garlic but after some research, decided against it. I would suggest more frequent baths during flea season and vacuuming more often. Make sure you wash their bedding often as well. |

| I would not use garlic to deter fleas... There are a lot of options on the market, and garlic would not be one that I would consider
