garlic and onions hemolyze red blood cells, not all at once but a little at a time
grapes/raisins cause formation of crystals which block renal tubules and do not dissolve, again, not all at once but a little with each dose, this effect is cumulative
if your vet does not know this he is seriously behind in his knowledge
these are not allergic but toxic reactions
hope you are not doing too much harm
one of my dogs died after eating grapes (over 15 years ago)
even natural substances can have adverse effects

Well I did notice the references used were very old on that article.. Sometimes I think people are just trying to freak other people out.
Please raise your hand if you have been feeding your dogs garlic to keep fleas off and to keep them from eating their own poop and for how many years.. Anyone have problems? I really don't think this something we need to worry about. I can worry myself to death if I want and not even enjoy my dog for going crazy about her health..
We eat garlic in about all of our meals.. If I hear from others in this group .. Please no OUTSIDE stories.. Just group members who have had a problem.. Then I will stop giving her bites.. I do NOT want to hear about your neighbors aunts brothers dog who supposedly had a problem.. Just YOUR own personal experience please

Claudia, I researched garlic and dogs on the internet. I have always believed garlic was safe, even good, for dogs. I've put it in Katie's food. But after reading the this article, Katie will never get it again. Thanks so much for asking about garlic, thus causing me to research it. Here's the link to the article: http://www.petsbyna ture.com/ Garlic.htm
