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 🐶🐱

To all of our friends, furry and human....Merry Christmas.

Good Morning, Friends! I have noticed several Veterinary Clinics in our area advertise they will be Closed Christmas Week. Not just for a few days but from Christmas Eve until after New Years. They So Deserve that time with their families and I wish them all a Wonderful Holiday. That said, now is the time to check pet medications etc to make sure you have everything your pet needs AND to Make An Alternate Emergency Plan should your pet become ill or injured during that time. Having an actual plan in place takes some of the stress off in times of illness/injury. Also make sure you have funds set aside. While you may have an account at your regular vet that won't help you going elsewhere. Enjoy your holiday preparations and if needed, we still have a couple of Pup Spots Open. 🐶 :-)
