Re: Pet Plus supplement and Back to Nature food

Thanks, that's useful to know. Must do my own research now!

The garlic rule applies to RAW garlic and not cooked. It is the disulfides in garlic and onions which pose a problem and although Onion has a VERY high concentration of disulfides a cat would have to eat an entire bulb of garlic several times a week to get the same disulfide levels found in onion. There may be conflicting information out there, and it's ultimately up to everyone to take responsibility for what they feed their own cats, but I am satisfied that the amount of garlic in Pet Plus is safe and, as I've said, my two cats are rude with health.
