Yes, I was reading an article on Yahoo.com and it had a list of things bad for dogs. Garlic was one of them. Its not poisonous, but it can make them really really sick and give them blood diseases.

Garlic is NOT poisonous to dogs, and the fact that it is in the same family as onions does not make it poisonous.
Garlic is a member of the same family as onion, but there are significant differences between garlic and onion. Onions can trigger hemolytic or "Heinz factor" anemia (where circulating red blood cells burst) through its high concentration of thiosulphate. With onions, a single generous serving can cause this reaction. Garlic simply DOES NOT CONTAIN THE SAME CONCENTRATION of this compound! In fact, it is barely traceable and readily excreted (not stored in the body).
One source says that for garlic to be dangerous to your dog, you would for garlic to be dangerous to your dog you would have to feed them a couple of whole bulbs a day on an ongoing basis.

∙ 15y agoi think so?????? No garlic doesn't make any difference to ticks. I've never heard of ticks being attracted to garlic, or to someone who just ate some. Also, if you were thinking along the lines of eating lots of garlic to help keep ticks from biting you, or maybe wearing it, or carrying it in your pockets. I have never heard of any food turning a tick. Now I have heard strange tales of what people used to do, to make a tick pull itself from your person after it has bitten you. But that wasn't healthy then and isn't now. If you have a tick bite already there are several medically sound options to remove the tick. But garlic is just a wonderfully strong, sinus cleaning, cooking ingredient, that is added to many great dishes. Ticks have a different dish in mind.

∙ 14y agoNo, you shouldn't do that it might harm the dog. You might rather just put some garlic powder (not garlic salt) in the dogs food and mix it. It will work.

∙ 12y agoNo; in fact, garlic is a natural flea repellant and a small amount in your dog's food can help naturally repel fleas.

How to Use Natural Tick Control Products?
Wood ticks are unavoidable in some parts of the country and rather than using tick collars on pets, using natural tick control will help keep ticks off pets and people without having to use chemicals that are absorbed by the skin. The pesticides inside the flea and tick collars eventually work their way into the pet’s system, which has been proven to cause damage to sensitive pets. Natural tick controls can either be ingested or sprayed on skin or fur to keep the ticks from latching onto the skin. One of the best natural tick repellents is garlic. Some pets will eat garlic in their food, but some do not like the taste. Garlic capsules can be fed to the pet or the pill can be buried in the pet’s food, a technique that works for dogs, but is not as easy when cats are involved. People can add garlic to their food to repel ticks or if they do not like the taste of garlic, they, too, can take the pills on a daily basis. Besides being a good tick control, garlic has many other positive effects on the body, like reducing cholesterol and enhancing the immune system. Other natural supplements to add to food are brewers or nutritional yeast. Several essential oils can be used to make sprays or lotions for excellent tick control. Rose geranium essential oil can be mixed with any vegetable oil to make an oil to rub on the pet’s fur by simply adding 10 to 25 drops of essential oil to 2 tablespoons of oil. This can also be applied to human skin as an effective tick repellent. Palmerosa oil will also work, and can be applied directly to the pet’s collar. Other essential oils that repel ticks are more commonly found like lemongrass, peppermint, rosemary, cedar wood, and thyme. These can also be mixed with oils to repel ticks. Treating the areas where the pets sleep with the oils is also a good way to keep the ticks at bay. Besides keeping the ticks away from the bedding, the pet’s fur may absorb some of the oils to give the animal fairly constant protection from the ticks.
