What would happen if you fed your dog 245 cloves of garlic in a week??🧄
21 years ago an experiment was conducted by Japanese scientists🇯🇵 who wanted to know what would happen if dogs were fed lots of Garlic Extract for 7 days straight. At the end of the trial, NO dogs died. In fact, none of the dogs even showed any symptoms, but the scientists found microscopic changes in some red blood cells, leading to the conclusion that garlic “may” be toxic to dogs.
How much garlic extract was fed to these dogs in the study, you ask? Well it would be the equivalent of feeding a 70lb golden retriever 245 cloves of garlic for one week (2.46lbs of raw garlic).
Since then most online pet resources continue to say “garlic is toxic to pets," but garlic is listed as a safe pet food ingredient by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and added to lots of commercial dry pet foods. Confused? So are most pet lovers around the world.
This is why in Chapter 1 of our new book The Forever Dog LIFE, we tackle more food myths in the section - Food Myths, Misconceptions, and Concerns, to clear up the myth-information floating around about what's safe for your pet.
