I know some people that have used garlic for years and never had a flea or a problem. They put garlic in dog foods, dry and canned. Some of the premium dog food makers.. like natural balance and Merricks have garlic added in their foods, there are others I just cant name them off the top of my head right now... why would they put garlic in the foods if it was that dangerous?? I have never heard of a dog falling ill from eating garlic.. Im sure there are stories out there, Ive just never seen them. Im not arguing that its good or bad, Im just wondering why?? Im sure you will find internet articles that will support both sides... so who is right??
Brewers yeast is also in a lot of dog foods, but if you look it up, you will see that it can cause bloat in some dogs, but its great for the coat and fleas in other articles.. sooo again.. who is right?? I guess its one of the those things that you need to decide what you feel is best for your pets and situation..
I must use something for my dogs and cats during high peak flea season, to do nothing but bath them and pick the fleas off is not an option. I will not have my house infested. I have tried home remedies that didnt work.. so I stick with frontline plus.. something I hate using but it works. So when I saw the garlic option I was going to try it, but do I dare?? Im off to do more research....
