Your Dog and Garlic - Dispelling the myths

The Power of Garlic and your Dog

I am passionate about whole foods both for myself and my
dogs. One of the great unsung heroes of the canine
nutrition world is garlic. Yes that magical little clove
that spices up your tomato sauce now brings all of its
glorious powers to your dog's meals.Learn why I use it when
I cook for both my family and my furry babies. For healthy
benefits beyond parallel I only have one thing to say. Ahh
Garlic!

For centuries garlic has been used as a blood tonic. There
has recently been controversy over feeding dogs garlic.
Too much can cause a disease called hemolytic anemia. Too
much, means 50 cloves at one time - that is too much for
anyone! Conservative use of one or 2 cloves per 50lb dog a
few times a week has so many benefits. Now even the AAFCO
(American Association of Feed Control Officials) recognizes
garlic as safe. The AAFCO gathers information from
professional toxicologists from the entire US and is
responsible for monitoring the safety of animal feed
products.

Let's look at some of the amazing natural health benefits
of garlic. it has pronounced effects on multiple organ
systems. For the skin, it makes its way through sweat
glands and pores. Garlic is a very effective natural
deterrent against fleas, ticks and mosquitos. With them
being 10,000 times more sensitive to its smell than humans.
How great is that? No more flea powder just human grade
dog food with garlic. For the stomach, garlic triggers
gastric juices for better digestion and promotes the growth
of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract. It also has
the ability to help regulate blood sugar and reduces
cholesterol and triglycerides while purifying the liver by
helping with detoxification. Garlic also contains the
powerful antioxidant, selenium. Selenium activates
enzymes, which protect against cancer. Cancer is the
leading cause of non-accidental deaths in dogs. The
National Cancer Institute has found garlic to be effective
in slowing the growth of cancer cells.

In summary, we can see that garlic stimulates immunity. It
has antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral
properties. It also aids in digestion and detoxification

Whether it is garlic and people or garlic and your dog, the
power of nature is seen again in the wonderful effects of
garlic. The best way to receive these benefits is through
eating a diet rich in whole, natural, unprocessed foods.
Dogs, like people, live longer when fed human grade dog
foods that contain vitamins, minerals and real ingredients
like natural garlic. It is a simple thing to do to add to
the health and vitality of your canine family! And it
tastes great too!
