So my hippie cousin sends me this article she found someplace....I have told her garlic (from everything I have ever understood about garlic and dogs) is not healthy to give to her dogs, so she finds this article someplace and sends it to me as proof that I am wrong. I am getting tired trying to convence her that garlic is not good to give her dogs, and she always sends me articles that say I am so far wrong on this.......I have never given it.....I am not a natural food person and dont use natural things growing around the house/yard to treat my dogs if and when they have an issue, so I just dont know if it is worth my time and energy to continue THIS battle!

"GARLIC FOR HUMAN AND DOG HEALTH

Numerous medical studies show how garlic juice reduces cholesterol and helps the heart.
Worldwide people take garlic pills, eat garlic cloves and spray garlic juice on food for good health.

For dogs it does even more:
1. Keeps dogs from having worms and gets rid of worms that are there.
2. Keeps fleas and ticks off dogs by getting into the dog's system and creating
a garlic odor that fleas and ticks detect and avoid the dog altogether.
(Don't worry, your dog won't smell like garlic. Humans can't detect
the garlic odor on the dog but the insects sure will!)
3. Reduces a dog's cholesterol level for good heart function.

Garlic Juice is easiest way to give garlic to your dog, here's how most kennels and dog owners do it:
Spray or pour garlic into the dog's food, mix well into the food.

Here's the recommended daily dosage:

5-20 lb. dogs - 4 sprays or 1/4 ounce in food daily.
21-50 lb. dogs - 6 sprays into food and mix well.
51 lbs. and over dogs 8 sprays into food and mix well.

If, for some rare reason your dog will not eat food with the garlic juice in it, mix the garlic
juice with soybean oil (available in the cooking oil section at your local supermarket) and mix
into food - this also helps make a very nice coat on the dog.

Say goodbye to poisonous flea collars! Mother Nature has provided a safe and all-natural
alternative - farm fresh garlic juice! "

She tells me she has used this garlic remedy for many years and never had a dog get sick, let alone die, from ingestion of garlic.....so I have no idea what is right or wrong here.....
