Link Busting the myth of Garlic for Dogs

Garlic may help you fight fleas and ticks if you feed it to your dogs during flea and tick season. It takes a couple of weeks for garlic to build up in your dog’s natural coat oil, so start feeding it before the bug season starts. Garlic is often used to repel ticks in pets, as research suggests it has anti-tick qualities in humans. The sulfur in the raw garlic eliminates those pesky insects by excreting through the dog’s skin. It takes a couple of weeks before working, so it’s recommended to start feeding small doses of garlic before the tick season starts.

VLA Comment:  I gave my yellow lab a teaspoon of minced Garlic at each meal.  I live in a tick infested forest. After a week…never another tick, ever.  But it didn’t work for fleas or what ever those insects are that look like poppy seeds.
