Garlic- Garlic contains about 30 compounds that have been found to be useful for a variety of conditions from skin disorders to cancer; holistic veterinarians recommend garlic because of its multiple health benefits. Garlic stimulates immune functions in the bloodstream by increasing the activities of killer cells. These cells seek out and destroy invading microbes and cancer cells. Dogs with suppressed immune systems or ones fighting cancer can profit from having fresh garlic added to their diet. Healthy dogs can also boost their immune system and fight to prevent cancer from consuming fresh garlic. This powerful antimicrobial and antibiotic is effective in fighting various forms of internal or external bacterial, viral, or fungal infection, including parasites and protozoan organisms. Garlic contains at least six compounds that can enhance liver function by helping the liver eliminate toxins from the body. The exact reason and extent of garlic's effeteness in preventing fleas and ticks isn’t all that clear. It may be the odor released through the dog's skin as the garlic is metabolized. Whatever the reason, there’s a lot of reports on the effectiveness of garlic as a flea and tick repellent. When using fresh garlic use this table to help you feed them an appropriate amount. 5-15 pounds- ½ clove; 20-40 pounds- 1 clove; 45-65 pounds- 1 ½ cloves; 70-95 pounds- 2 cloves; 100 pounds and over 3 cloves. Use this guide and feed your dogs every other day and taking a week long break every 5 weeks.
