My alternative vet had me feed Yoda 1/2 an avocado every day. I said "I thought they were not recommended for dogs" - he said "that's just the seed inside, they are an excellent source of vegetable based fat".There are some foods dogs should never eat such as grapes, raisins, chocolate, avocados, etc. I know there are more but I can't remember them off the top of my head.
I know some doberman owners who suggested me to feed her a small piece of garlic cause it helps to avoid parasites. Why is garlic not good? Is it toxic?You're not supposed to give dogs onions, garlic, raw yeast bread dough, macadamia nuts, peaches and nectarines (pits are poisonous, not the fruit's flesh).
I've heard that avocados are OK, yet there are a lot of places that say they are not. Anyway, good avocados are not available enough for me to feed them to a dog (even a family member dog); I keep them for me!
Don't use Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin (ibuprofen). Aspirin is the safest to use (sparingly and rarely, and proper dose per weight) but can still cause problems. (Check with your vet before giving aspirin; I am not a vet.)
Maybe raw garlic?I know some doberman owners who suggested me to feed her a small piece of garlic cause it helps to avoid parasites. Why is garlic not good? Is it toxic?
Yes, just one small segment of raw garlic. I also use citronela spray for kalazaar, not sure if garlic will keep her safe from that.Maybe raw garlic?
I feed all of my dogs a dried garlic supplement for fleas and ticks everyday. I know some other people on DT do also, this is where I got the recommendation. "Bug off Garlic" from Springtimeinc.com
When I got Enid, I gave her a garlic capsule (like the others got at the time). She came from a BYB... Anyway, within a short time, she went outside and the most disgusting poop I have ever seen. I scooped it up into bags because it was alive with huge roundworms. She was 4 mth old and I was her 3rd owner - "never been wormed" according to the vet when I showed him how many and how big they were.I know some doberman owners who suggested me to feed her a small piece of garlic cause it helps to avoid parasites.
