It does seem like alot of garlic, but I can't say for sure so best wait and see if anyone truely knows if this much is safe or not.

I don't know about garlic but what I do know is that he's gonna have one helluva breath =D

*Onions are bad juju for our yorkies*

i can deal with the breath, i cant deal with her being sick. i guess if worse came to worst i would just make a new batch....hopefully someone will know soon, bc if i hurt my baby i will just die...

How much did she eat? If I remember correctly, a whole garlic is normally 5-6 cloves. So you tripled the amount. If you puppy does not vomit and has firm stools, she'll be ok I think.

I'd throw it out. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe to much garlic is deadly.

[joy and bella]

she ate about 1 cup of the recipe......is garlic deadly??

Here's a link I found: http://www.peteducation.com/article....articleid=2414
Hope this helps!! It seems small amounts of Garlic is okay. What weight is your pup??

[joy and bella]

i dont know how i did this....ive never done the recipe before using garlic bc it is optional...and of course i try it and ruin it...ahhh

Here's some more info to help ease you from too many worries: http://www.garlicvalleyfarms.com/health.html
Garlic has pros and cons about its use and I think small amounts are ok. I would check with your vet in the morning cause the only thing I see is it can cause anemia. Your vet might give you iron or something if he feels its necessary.

thanks for the help....i will call my vet in the am!! at least i know she will be ok tonight....thanks again!

If you call the animal poison control they can tell you if it is a big enough amount that they feel you should induce vomiting or not too...here's a list of foods to avoid feeding you pets I found: http://www.holisticdog.org/badfoods.shtml

You're right ...it's one thing that isn't really good for our dogs - but I'd think in small amounts maybe will be ok

[joy and bella]

well, i called my vet and he said to throw it out. he said as long as she isnt throwing up and has hard poop not to worry but not to give her anymore. he did say that too much garlic causes anemia. other than that and some potty training issues @ 1 year old(i posted another thread), she is doing good. thank for all your help everyone!!!!!!
