Lost Generation 93 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just got back from a shine and my bitch is pissing up to 5/6 times an hour and emptying her water bowl. When I got back I let her rest an hour before giving her the usual calves milk and chicken wings. Wasnta huge night just the 3 but all long slips big runs. Anyone shadeany light. By the way I put a little garlic in her water garlic is toxic to dogs my dog pinches the garlic of the shelf in the kitchen, I always find either a Clove in her bed or out in the garden! How toxic is it to dogs? :s Its a toxin. While it will take a lot to kill a good size dog but it can cause damage at much lower doses. Dogs simply shouldnt be given garlic or onions at all.

Actually your wrong there - garlic only has very minimum trace amounts in it and a dog would have to fed tons of the stuff every day to even show any symptoms, even over long term, i've been feeding it for 10 + years and non of my dogs have ever showed symptoms. The debate about whether garlic is good or bad seems tohave arisen from confusion with its close cousin, the onion. Both garlic and onion contain thiosulphate, the substance responsible for causing ‘Heinx Factor’ anemia in dogs. However the amount of thiosulphate found in garlic is much lower than in onions, in fact the amount in garlic is barely traceable! The fear of garlic is a new one - propagated by rumor on the internet and not proven by any facts or study. http://ottawavalleydogwhisperer.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/garlic-for-dogs-health-benefits.html Quote Link to post

Dogs simply shouldnt be given garlic or onions at all. we have fed garlic mixed in food for generations and it will not cause aneamia it helps to purify the blood and it doesnot destroy red blood cells.Also as said once in the dogs ciculatory system it helps to prevent flea and lice infestations, Edited March 24, 2013 by desertbred Quote Link to post

Can you point me towards where the studies you have done which contradict the established scientific work on garlic and onion toxicity to dogs have been published? Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 To much onion will cause Heinz anaemia in dogs BUT a small daily dose of garlic is absolutely fine and will cause no ill health ........... Quote Link to post
