Do you think those owners are so stupid they feed their dogs only garlics? or course not. Just like us, each of us can withstand a certain level of toxins in our body without falling sick/showing any symptom.
You've now heard of dogs coming down with garlic poisoning. If you still want to feed your dog garlics, it's really a conscious choice of yours.
Anti fungal.. anti bacteria... only if they amount to certain doses...
Flea repellant.. we've got so many kinds of topical drugs which are safe for dogs...
so why garlic?

Denes dog food company seem to disagree with you Surrvivor
"Garlic is an anti-flea remedy, and many raw feeders never use anything else to keep fleas away, and it offers many other benefits. Although garlic is part of the onion family (which is toxic to dogs) there have never been any recorded cases of garlic poisoning at the Veterinary Toxins Unit. One crushed clove (not bulb) a few times a week is sufficient." Canine Health Concern, PO Box 7533, Perth, PH2 1AD, These guys also disagree with you ...
