Garlic

There are a couple of recipes in Bradley's kitchen that contain garlic... yet this sticky:

lists it as harmful to dogs Shocked

.

Can anyone clarify whether or not it is harmful, and if it is, shouldn't the recipes be amended?

Garlic is ok in moderation, but you wouldn't want them eating lots of raw garlic in one go.

I always put a clove of garlic into Corbie's treats... and it is good to keep fleas at bay.

Just found this http://www.petalia.com.au/templates/storytemplate_process.cfm?story_no=257#ct-4

it seems that larger amounts need to be eaten before it causes any problems

Barney ate a whole bulb not a clove but the whole lot. He was across from me in the kitchen, looking naughty, so i investigated only to have him run past me smelling like a vampires worst nightmare.

This was about a month ago, he was itching a fair bit for a few days afterwards but he has eaten far worse and seems okay now touch wood.

Why do Labs think EVERYTHING is for dinner?
