Garlic for dogs 🧄…let’s clear this up 👇

Garlic often gets labeled “toxic” because it’s related to onions, but here’s the nuance: garlic contains about 1/15th the amount of the compound linked to toxicity and is actually recognized as a safe ingredient in commercial pet foods (AAFCO).

In small, appropriate amounts, garlic provides allicin, which may support:
❤️ Heart health
🛡️ Immune function
🦠 Antimicrobial support

The studies often cited to claim harm? They used extreme doses…the equivalent of feeding a 70 lb dog ~245 cloves of garlic in one week (yes, really). Even then, no dogs showed outward symptoms, just minor microscopic changes in some red blood cells.

The amounts in this graphic fall well within safe daily feeding guidelines 👍

🐈 For added context: the National Research Council has even set a historical safe intake for cats at 17 mg/kg of body weight, further highlighting that dose matters.

Bottom line:
Garlic isn’t the villain - it’s the amount that matters.

📌 Save this for reference & always stick to proper serving sizes 🐶🐱

🐶 Sniff & Seek (SAS) Scent Work Classes 🐾

If you’re unsure whether this would suit your dog — don’t worry, that’s exactly what this class is for 😊

Scent work is something every dog can do, regardless of age, breed or ability. There’s no pressure and no experience needed — we build everything step by step so both you and your dog feel confident.

It’s especially great for dogs that:
✔ Get easily distracted
✔ Struggle to switch off
✔ Love sniffing and exploring

We’ll start simple and progress at your dog’s pace, building focus, calmness and confidence along the way 👍

💡 Just 5–10 minutes of scent work can be as tiring as a long walk!

📍 Wednesdays – 11am
📍 Epperstone Village Hall

I’m a fully qualified scent work trainer & WSDA Blue Level judge, so you’ll be guided through everything clearly and at a pace that suits you.

Limited spaces — message or WhatsApp 07855 860687 if you’d like more info or a space 🐾
