It's safe in the amount found in food and snacks. Some vets recommend sprinkling it on food to increase the appetite, and garlic has been shown to have many health benefits. So it's ok, just don't drop the bottle, because a dog will eat the whole thing. If this happens see a vet immediately.

Thank you thank you thank you!! You are so knowledgeable! It's incredible!
