"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 ...
tx for the info katherna, reali do appreciate it.. well well.. there are many schools of thought, until we gather more info abt it.. perhaps you can visit this site for a little more information on garlic.. ACVC 2001 - Herbal and Other Natural Products Pose Intoxication Risks to Pets. it's a professional website, written by and for vets alone. "The volatile oil in garlic contains oxidants such as allicin.4 Thus, one can hypothesize that oxidant-induced Heinz body anemia would be more likely to occur in cats given garlic than in other species."

and
White Oaks West Animal Hospital
"Garlic & Garlic powder
Red blood cell damage can occur due to garlic and onion ingestion. The use of garlic and other members of the Lily family such as onions, shallots, and chives is not advised. Ingestion of these plants in a raw, cooked, or dried form can lead to damage of the red blood cells, which are rejected by the body from the bloodstream, and a continued use of garlic or onions can eventually result in hemolytic anemia.
"An alkaloid, N-propyl disulphide, present in both cultivated and wild onions, chives, and garlic, affects the enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, in red blood cells that interferes with the hexose monophosphate pathway. Oxidation of hemoglobin results because there is either insufficient phosphate dehydrogenase or glutathione to protect the red blood cells from oxidative injury. The resulting formation of Heinz bodies within erythrocytes is characteristic of onion poisoning. (...)"
Marielle Gomez-Kaifer, PhD, Department of Chemistry, University of Miami"


given choices, i'd rather trust the vets and veterinary universities. =)

Re: dangerous to dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay what about a vet that says it's okay to give dogs garlic?

"Ingesting excessive quantities of garlic (or onion), raw or cooked, can
cause Heinz-body anemia in pets and, therefore, the amount dispensed on
the pet food must be appropriate for the body weight of the pet. Although
it is not known that any veterinary colleges have conducted studies on the
effects of garlic on pets, the suggested dosage of raw garlic that is
generally considered to have therapeutic value for certain problems and
also to be safe is approximately 1/2 clove of raw garlic per 10 lbs. of
body weight. Mary L. Brennan, D.V.M." This person is a vet, Dr. Mary Brennan has a holistic veterinary practice in Atlanta, Georgia.
