I have a 9 week old boxer that has worms and I heard that garlic is good for getting rid of worms. How much do I use? Can I use garlic powder or does it need to be cloves of garlic?

She came into our lives three weeks ago she was Sick, I took her (Missy) while my children were at School to the SPCA yesterday and the first thing they did was Give me a estimate which included Spaying her. What does that have to do with Worms. I ask them to just focus on the Worm problem first, and they couldn't do one with out doing the other, for about Three hundred and that was just to start the Ball Rolling. So please if there is anyone out there with a good home cure sent it to me at Landynova246 AT aol.com. If I could afford to pay I would, but right we are fighting to keep our home, they tell me that the dog Pound would but her to sleep. We Can't Bring ourselves to do that.

Garlic won't hurt your dog I've had several dogs over the years all living past 12. I have always used garlic to help deworm, and it works.

Sardines and garlic are for people. Veterinarians are for dogs. Please take your dog to the vet, and have its shots done, a deworming, monthly heartworm preventative Rx, and Spay/Neuter. Vets don't just want to take your money. I promise. They are in the profession because they genuinely care. Responsible pet ownership is hard to come by these days.

Don't give your dog garlic. First of all boxers have very sensitive stomachs. You need to take your puppy to a vet and get his shots and have him wormed by a professional. Then buy heartworm pills every month

First off go to vet office your dog could have parvo. If you do want to give your dog garlic you can make a water gravy using garlic powder, but it's for dogs 1 year or older. Good luck.

Both garlic and onion are poisonous to dogs. When you take the puppy for vaccines - should be getting the 2nd set soon (9 -10 wks) - the vet can give worm medication as well.

You should take your dog to a vet soon. Worms can be deadly for puppies. I took my cat to the vet soon after we got him and it only cost around $20.00.

Your puppy should be checked out by a vet anyway, so he or she will be able to treat the worms.

I'm not sure about garlic with dogs I've never heard of that one. I have heard of giving dogs sardines for worms (I believe heart worms). We always gave my dogs when I was growing up a can of sardines (keep in mind that these were all big dogs).

Garlic at one time was thought to be good for dogs,
But more evidence is coming to light every day,
Garlic can be fatal to Dogs,
The deadly toxic can build up in the dogs system,
eventually leading to death,
Look at it this way,
Is your Dogs life worth gambling with?
How important is your dog to you?
Your Dogs life is in your hands,
Be informed of all the facts before rolling that dice,

Actually, some say it is bad for dogs, and others say it helps with fleas, worms, general health. I know several people who sprinkle garlic powder in their dog's food for fleas/healthy coat. When I did this for my dog, it gave her dandruff. Here are some sites that talk about this in more depth:
