Giving dogs Garlic Pills for fleas???????

[dogbert]

Flea-Be-Gone Treats and it's a household tip book I ordered called "Over 100 Helpful Household Hints with Salt. I just got the book in the mail today and looked at the pet section then the garlic post came up.

I just went and did a search, a few people have said one brewers yeast tablet a day has kept fleas off their dogs for 2years. I would love to use something like this over the flea meds.

Is Garlic Good or Bad for Dogs? this is another article guys

I've read some good things about garlic, although I haven't come to any conclusions yet, but one thing I do feel strongly about is not introducing many new foods in the first 6 months of life. This are some studies that suggest the longer you wait to introduce new foods, the fewer the chances of allergies developing.

I think it's important to note that although garlic may be okay in small amounts and some vets recommend it, others do not. Ellie's board certified veterinary nutritionist says it should not be given and if it is, check RBCs.

From that article (comments) as well as the one I posted it seems garlic gets an unearned bad rap for being related to onions although I would have to do a lot more research as well as talking to my vet before I gave garlic supplements. I haven't found one concrete reason against garlic besides the possible Heinz factor anemia associated with onions which the article I linked says isn't there. I know I would research the heck out of it before resorting to pesticides.

Yeah I agree with this.

This is kind of random but on topic...Snickers eats Evo Kibble (Innova) and it has garlic in it...I have not seen a single flea at all. He is also on Sentinel but I thought I would have seen one on him by now....I doubt it's b/c of the trace of garlic in the Evo, but you never know. I'll cross my fingers that his kibble is giving him a natural flea protective shield.
