Oh thanks for that tip Ashlady, I will be careful just to give him a little bit then just in case.

Garlic ? please tell me more i never heard of this , and deos it work on cats too ,thanks.


I feel sorry for the poor women , i always use frountline,and had never given this sort of thing a thought .

i use garlic pearls,get them from the health shop,when i cook for them i put garlic in it,i also comb them with a derbac comb,

J, there has been some research done in Italy (I think) on garlic repelling mozzys from biting people & it was found to be effective

Do think it needs to be taken constantly tho

That is so sad.

hay guys just a quick note on this... I also feed 'naturally' and once had a reaction with a flea product on a rescue dog. (she came up with a rash all over and then had bad dandruff for weeks until her skin healed) anyway since then i always use garlic, but find it a pain to crush up the cloves etc. and the synthetic pills don't impress me much. Anyway since becoming a horse owner, i have found that horses too get garlic, and it comes in a huge tub, powdered or crushed. So i have one in the house for the dogs too. I still use fresh occasionally, but a little powder every day is real easy.... for those who have an equestrian shop nearby!

p.s. garlic is part of the onion famliy, but you need a helluva lot to poison a dog. Most dogs can cope fine but like humans occasionally you get one who has a reaction to onions/garlic.
Everything in moderation!

thats awful poor dog,, and has frightened the life out of me as I have ALWAYS used frontline, and nemo licks bonnie quite a bit

thankyou for all the garlic tips,, will deff try this instead
