| the dogs get garlic in their livercake too, i would get the already crushed in a jar and just sprinkle a little, i'm not really sure but i think too much uncooked garlic is bad for them because its from the onion family  maybe wrong _________________ HAPPINESS IS A OBEDIENT DOG , I MISS MY SWEETIE MORE EACH DAY  |

You are quite right with that. Everything in moderation. Garlic is very good for a lot of things and not just for animals, for us too but taken too much it can do long term damage to certain organs.
I just feed a dried working diet to most, puppy food to the puppies (duh!) and HT42D to bitches ready for mating. BUT I do add a natural probiotic yoghurt to everyones food including the puppies. Horse Cod Liver Oil for coat etc and the Hounds get Charcoal powder to bring their natural odour to a normal dog smell. Oh and I always add seaweed granules for pigmentation. Nothing else apart from the odd Sheeps head (very smelly and not advisable in the house unless you want eyeballs rolling everywhere!!! lol) |
