Garlic and dogs

Accordingly, garlic is a good antibiotic and it's not poison so there's nothing wrong if dogs eat it for even people do. What I don't know if garlic eaten by dogs can keep off ticks and fleas from dogs. There's nothing wrong anyway if you let your dog eat some cloves of garlic.

oh my! is that true? i think it might irritate their skin... hehe :)

One day while I was preparing our evening meal I accidentally dropped a couple of cloves of garlic on the floor. Before I could pick them up my one year old German Shepard mix had already scarfed them down. I was so worried about her getting sick that I stayed up all night to make sure that she would be alright. It never did bother her, in fact she has eaten garlic cloves a few more times since the first incident. This isn't a guarantee that your dog won't get sick but I have never heard of garlic making a dog sick before.

I have heard of feeding your dogs garlic to keep the fleas and ticks off of them, but I have never tried it. I use one of the once a month flea and tick drops because we used to live in an area that was highly infested with ticks.
