Garlic Ok I am totally confused about garlic. It is on all of the toxic things for dogs lists but then I see it in some dog food. Whats the deal with garlic? |
I think it has to do with the amount consumed... http://www.petguide.com/health/dog/t...gs-and-garlic/ |

I agree with Kathy. In small doses, garlic has many therapeutic values. |
Tough question. I don't think garlic is absolutely toxic. Every now & then I add garlic and rosemary to the water I boil my pup's chicken in. They never get sick. I probably do that about every 6 wks or so...and I don't let them actually eat the garlic or rosemary. I strain it out. Garlic's contraversial. I don't know how much is too much. |

I know dog trainer Victoria Stilwell likes to use a lot of it. |
The vet nutritionist that I use is against garlic in any form, in any amount. I don't use it. |

Garlic in pet food | The Honest Kitchen There probably isn't that much in pet food anyway & if it's not the 1st 5 ingredients, there's not much in there to cause any real concern. Garlic is said to be beneficial in small amounts. |
I agree with Cathy. There is no reason for most dogs to eat it and there are plenty of foods i choose from that don't contain it. If a food with garlic is chosen then RBCs should be checked a few weeks to months out. Foods in this family cause irreversible damage of RBCs. The only food E can eat does ave garlic oil in it. Thankfully her labs are normal. If I wasn't backed into a corner then I would not even consider feeding the ingredient. |
