No, you aren't wrong. Garlic is to be avoided in dogs. I can't seem to link this to
www.petdiets.com but Dr. Remillard a well respected veterinary nutritionist has answered this for another person:
"I have read that garlic is harmful to dogs. Yet I have seen some recipes for dog food that contain garlic. Is it harmful to dogs?
Although the recommendation to feed onion or garlic to pets is quite popular in the lay press, and allowable under current US AAFCO regulations, we do not recommend feeding garlic, leeks, onions and chives to dogs or cats because there is a potentially serious downside. Members of the Allium family (garlic, leeks, onions and chives) contain organosulfoxides, in particular, alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides. Cooking or spoilage of Allium plants does not reduce their potential toxicity. Please see the complete article on Feeding onions and garlic to pets in our Nutrition Library."
