I did my research and consulted my vet first.

Is Garlic Good or Bad for Dogs? | Raising Healthy Dogs

This site gives the pros and cons.

This is incorrect. According to Vet Nutritionist and Diplomat of the American Veterinary Nutrition Council, Dr. Rebecca Remillard, DVM who also has a PhD in animal nutrition it is not safe in any form or any amount!

She has repeatedly posted on her site to avoid garlic although it is a AAFCO permitted food.

She has said: "onions and garlic contain an alkaloid disulfide compound that is toxic to red blood cell membranes and irreversibly denatures hemoglobin" and that "there is no known concentration of garlic proven not to cause a problem."

It's not worth it.
