Dogs and Garlic - Raw Foods Diet?
Some of the Raw Food diets for dogs are conflicting.
B.A.R.F. Suggests:
Garlic is nature's antibiotic and often called nature’s wonder drug. There is no doubt that garlic does confer some health advantages. Garlic has been found to have effective antimicrobial properties, inhibiting the growth of both bacteria and fungi. Garlic helps stabilize blood pressure and gives a good solid boost to the immune system, keeping at bay infections of various sorts particularly upper respiratory tract infections. Much of it's success is due to various compounds of sulfur. Garlic is a health building and disease preventing herb. It is rich in potassium, zinc, vitamins A and C, and selenium. It also contains calcium, manganese, copper, vitamin B1 and some iron.
Where as Raw Meaty Bones says:
Things to avoid:
Onions, garlic and chocolate — toxic to pets.
So my question is: Has anyone had any problems giving their dog/pet garlic? All of my dogs have eaten garlic and never experienced any problems.
