Is there any reason I can't put the teeniest sprinkling of garlic granules on their dinner ?

I know not to put bulbs of the stuff on, but I discovered when I made one of Trish's pilchard cakes that they LOOOVVVEEE garlic

Would just a teeny sprinkle be ok ?

I'm sure a touch of garlic is good for dogs. I know we put in liver cake and such. But I think it is in some dry food, as our Jazmin's breath always has a hint of garlic on it. The dry food we feed her is Quantum, chicken and rice flavour.

Garlic is supposed to keep flea's a bay on dogs..

I was told to use the puree garlic that comes from a tube and when baking my liver cake squirt a inch into the mix!

My boys have garlic powder about a teaspoon in their treats roughly 3 times a week
Garlic is a member of the onion family
Onions are toxic and should never be fed
Garli bulbs shouldnt either but a little powder should be okay x

We had Sami at only 5 weeks (I know I know I didnt realise then!!) and she was covered in fleas and too young to have flea treatment so I gave her garlic worked a treat.

I use Quantum chicken and Rice too Mazz I think it is fantastic food!!
