Garlic For Dogs
Not really. Dogs like garlic for the most part, and it has the same health benefits to them as it does for humans. That doesn't mean to say that you should feed your dog tons of garlic because just like you, too much of anything could make you ill.
A lot of canned pet food manufacturers add garlic as a regular ingredient.
Dr. Richard Pitcairn, probably the preeminent authority on providing home made food for dogs and cats has garlic as an acceptable ingredient:
"Garlic helps to eliminate worms, strengthen digestion, and beneficially stimulate the intestinal tract. Use it to promote intestinal health. It is also indicated for animals that have been on a high meat or fish diet, and th9se that tend to be overweight or suffer hip pain from arthritis or dysplasia. Include fresh, rated garlic with each meal, using ½ - 3 cloves, depending on the animal's size. Cats can be given a ¼ clove a day."
He has been providing home made recipes to address health issues in pets for 27 years. This quote is from his most recent book in its third edition. It's tried and true.
