HuskaChi Mum Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I bought a dog roll at our local vet called Tucker Time http://www.tuckertime.com.au/products.asp which has garlic in it. I've heard it's toxic though I was wondering if anyone could inform me as to why it is in dog roll. Is it okay to give in small quantities or not?

Sandra777 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Garlic is great for dogs - many say it helps repel fleas. If you know your dog has a problem with onion or garlic (previous health issue for example) then obviously avoid it, otherwise it shouldn't cause a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Raw garlic and or onion is the most toxic I believe. Cooked onion and garlic is ok but becomes a problem if fed in larger quantities. One of my pugs once ate a raw onion with no ill effects. Edited July 17, 2014 by ~Anne~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskaChi Mum Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks, that's good to hear after seeing my boy lick the bowl clean with no sour looks (if it's not enticing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskaChi Mum Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Will most likely use it occasionally only though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Garlic as a repellant for fleas is a myth that arose out of a single scientific paper many years ago. Yes both it and onion are toxic for dogs and cats but I wouldn't worry about a small amount that is cooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have heard that for garlic to be toxic (depending on the size of the dog) he would have to eat a whole bulb cluster. A little bit of garlic is beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
