Giving it on occasion probably won't do any harm but here is a post I wrote the other day:
Whether garlic should be given to dogs will probably be debated forever.
I do not give it and don't recommend giving it.
Members of the allium (onion, garlic, leek, chives) family can permanently denature hemogloblin because they are toxic to red blood cells.
Feeding a small amount of garlic occasionally isn't really going to do anything but feeding a large amount one time or a small amound over a long period of time could create a problem. Most dogs will probably do fine but asthmatic attacks, dermatitis and anemia have been reported in relation to animals consuming garlic. If I had to feed Ellie garlic, I would have her RBCs checked often but there is no reason, in my opinion, to take the chance anyway.
You can learn about this at petdiets.com.
You can search in the FAQ for this info.
There is also an article about it on there but it is not free.
