How Much Garlic Should I Use To Prevent Fleas?

RE: How Much Garlic Should I Use To Prevent Fleas? Post by RoxysMom (7) | (09/19/2008) Profile | Contact Be careful giving dog garlic.. It can increase the white blood cells to dangerous levels, I have been told. My vet told me to use Advantage if my dog is in contact with others since she doesn't have fleas, at the moment. Also I have heard that rosemary works well also. But must be boiled down. Just the leaves. Then maybe added to their food in moderation. Personally, I would consult a homeopathic pet care professional if you are not interested in using commercial flea treatments for your pet(s). Always consult a professional when it comes to your pets health. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How Much Garlic Should I Use To Prevent Fleas? Post By Mary (Guest Post) (09/18/2008) Everything I have found on giving dogs garlic says moderation is the key. I would rather use a little garlic and brewers yeast than stuff like Frontline. Those are pure insecticides. So what would you rather do put insecticides into your animals bloodstream monthly or give him a bit of garlic which has been used for decades. Dogs use to live for 15-20 years but since these chemical flea treatments have come along I know so many families losing their dogs at 10, 11, and 12 years old due to all kinds of ailments. Personally I believe it's the insecticides. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How Much Garlic Should I Use To Prevent Fleas?
