I had always heard that garlic was good for your pet, after losing my chocolate Cocker Spaniel to unknown reasons. I read that garlic, grapes, nuts and apples, especially the seeds were deadly to a dog. I don't know if it is true, but I was guilty of giving my dog grapes and an apple now and then to eat. They said that grapes will cause kidney failure.
I use Diatomaceous Earth to worm my little Cocker spaniel, Daisy. Food grade Diatomaceous Earth can be used by humans, all animals, plants and insects. It's very inexpensive for the amount you get.
The 2 most common drugs for worms seem to be Albendazole and Mebendazole (vermox) . Albendazole and mebendazole are in the same chemical family, albendazole is newer and has better in that only a single dose whereas mebendazole needs 3 days. The therapeutic dose of Alabendazole is 11.5 mg per pound of your pets weight. Often It's recommended to repeat this in 14 days.
Hello, I have worked for a Veterinarian for over 27 years and the answer is no. Please take a stool sample to your Vet and have them check for worms and which kind they are. You Vet can treat them with medication once he/she finds out which type of worms they are. There is no home remedy to get rid of worms, it is an old wives tale. Good luck.
Garlic is deadly to dogs and cats! Actually, anything in the allium family is and, besides a few other possible problems that can occur, it causes anemia! Please just take a fresh stool sample to your vets office and they will let you know what you need to do for worming and you do not have to pay for a vet visit doing that just the testing for the stool sample.
Garlic is not deadly!! I've fed it toy 8 dogs for the last 25 yrs and they lived a long life..no health issues beside surgery for acls.
Oh great I was on another site that said garlic is great for deworming and I just garlic to my Chihuahua so now what do I do
Garlic is considered toxic to dogs, especially smaller dogs. I would contact your veterinarian immediately.
Garlic is not deadly to dogs it's onion
The woman said she couldn't afford a veterinarian bill....i mean do you ppl not realize that some of us are less fortunate and don't have that kind of money just laying around
It is a debatable point, although most pet health care professionals say to avoid it entirely, especially in small dogs.
"Signs of garlic poisoning can be delayed and not apparent for several days. While tiny amounts of these foods in some pets, especially dogs, may be safe, large amounts can be very toxic."
From www.petpoisonhelpline.com/
really the only one that needs a different medicine is a tapeworm and I don't know what that you have but any bit that I know is charging you for an office visit to stool sample and the treatment there is no free that help anywhere so wherever you're at that's awesome for you but for the rest of us that are now poor we don't have that option
My dog hasnt died. Use it all the time.
Garlic is ok to give a dog in small amounts. I gave my dog a half a clove of garlic years ago wrapped in peanut butter and he would have lived to be 6 years old and would have lived longer if he wouldnt have gotten run over by a car.
You can try some of the over the counter wormers, and give it according to label directions. Make sure it is safe for the pups age and weight before buying.
I have used over the counter meds to worm my dogs with lots of success. Also you can buy worming medicine online at various pet stores.
Actually a lot of people has been not inform correctly about garlic to deworm your dog the fact is that garlic as long as is on moderate quantities can help deworm your dog and human and it is scientific proven. Go online and you can see a lot of information about it and its true now if you ask your vet they will tell you otherwise but thats like you telling the doctor that you taking only natural drug he might tell you its not good for you but its all about that money anyways if you want to get rid of the worms you can give him some gsrlic and then i recomend to wait until you can take him to the vet and get him test it to make sure he doesnt have anymore worms
Seems like a lot of vet professionals are clearly more concerned with themselves rather than the animals. Garlic itself is certainly not toxic to your dog. Like with most things that are otherwise good for us, it should be used in MODERATION. You'll be hard pressed trying to convince anyone with a functioning brain that your toxic dewormer drugs are somehow safer than something as organic as garlic. Something that has been used as a home remedy for centuries by pet owners with absolutely no proven effect of any harm towards the animal whatsoever.
U can give him 3/4 to 1 garlic clove twice a day for 10 days then 5 days of no garlic. Then u start another 10 days just like before. And the reason u have to repete is b/c when the worm detaches it lays more eggs so inorder for u to not have another host worm attach to the wall again u must repete. And dnt miss a dose! It works i just did it on my 3yr old pit for the 2nd time in his life!
My mother in law who grew up during the depression. She always had dogs her whole life and ALWAYS used garlic to deworm her dogs even up until 2008. She swore by it and her dogs were always healthy and worm free.
Yes it does help dogs
How much garlic do I give my 5lb. Mini pincher for parasites! This is my second time giving him the vet's medication and don't seem to work. I pick up the poop and use unscented wipes to clean him up as a precaution! I am at my wits end.
Use one clove of garlic 1 small bag of raw pumpkin seed 1 whole papaya with seeds 1 cup coconut oil and 1 lb of chicken boiled with broth grind all together and put a heaping spoonful on food stir it in twice a day for 5 days, check poop after two weeks if worms are still present use . 5 ml of pyrantal, can get it from a pet store or just a over the counter dewormer, and do the same recipe again and give it again, it's super packed with nutrients that will help with anemia that worm infestation can cause, good luck to you hope this helps
Don't listen to these fools that say garlic is deadly to dogs for worming! I have ALWAYS wormed with Garlic! It has a 100 percent effective rate, and it's an antioxidant!!
I gave a 7wk. Pup garlic this morning for tapeworms. It expelled them within 5min's.
She's doing fine this evening, playing up a storm.
My pit pup is 10 wks old. How much garlic should I give her per meal?
Garlic is very controversial in terms of being given as food to dogs. More often than not, dog owners try to avoid it despite claims of having benefits. I personally don't give my dog any garlic. Because of the reasons stated here: goldenretrieverlove.com/
How much can I give to a 5 week pup
I would not recommend that. Although some dogs seem to tolerate garlic, I would never use it on a baby. It would be very easy to cause more damage than the fleas.
If you cannot afford veterninary care, you might contact your local animal control or humane society. They may have a program to help you. Otherwise, you could try carefully bathing the puppy using a flea shampoo and flea comb. Flea medication is just the easiest way. But the puppy will needs shots and it should be tested for parvo as well.
Good luck!
I have used garlic as a dewormer on our large dogs for probably 30 years or more.....none suffered any bad effects from it.
About 30 years ago, I ended up with a 5 week old stray puppy that was half starved, and loaded with worms....commercial wormer would have killed her....we used garlic as a dewormer for the pup, it worked amazingly well, and she turned into a large beautiful adult, that we had for 15 years.
