Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Feeding Drake garlic... Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:35 pm | |
| I've been reading how garlic is good for dogs' health and also for repelling fleas. I'm interested in trying a natural flea repellent regimen and see how it works, I would love to avoid feeding him pesticides. I've read that garlic is toxic to dogs in large quantities and then I've read that garlic is harmless, it's onions that are toxic. What is the dose and frequency in which I can put minced garlic in his food? Today I minced about 1/3 of a clove and mixed it in with his kibble, can I do this every day or do I only need to do it a few times a week? |

| I haven't found a recommended amount for regular garlic supplementation, but I can share what I do. I give my dog's about the equivalent of 1/16th of a teaspoon every other day. I do every other day because I alternate with Apple cider vinegar. So I do 1/16th tsp garlic one day, then 1 tablespoon ACV (with mother) the next day, and alternate between the two. Been doing this for a year and a half and haven't had any flea or parasite problems to speak of in all that time. And my dogs' bloodwork has come back normal when we've had them tested to be sure we weren't doing any harm. My mother in law took my advice to try something like what I do on her own dogs. She does garlic every day, unlike me, and hasn't had any health issues in the approximately 6 months that she's been feeding it. Although she seems to use more garlic than I do and sometimes her dog's don't want to eat their food because it's too strong.
Garlic and onion are from the same family or something like that. Onions are toxic so avoid that. Garlic is toxic in large quantities, but it is actually healthy and beneficial in smaller quantities. Hope that helps. _________________ |

| Jenn is correct, the mother is important to get the full benefit of using ACV. So you'll want to buy unpasteurized ACV containing "mother". You should be able to find it at most health food stores. _________________ |
