Lucky Dog Cuisine Founder Shares Insights on Garlic for Dogs, Weighs Controversy Vs. Benefits of This Powerful Health Food

Healthy Natural Dog Food: Part 3 Garlic and Your Dog

by Dr. Janice Elenbaas, founder of Lucky Dog Cuisine

Ah, garlic!  As a woman who loves to cook and to eat, I am thrilled to learn about all the wonderful health benefits of my favorite seasoning.  I cook for all the members of my family and that includes our furry babies.  My dogs eat a healthy, cooked, natural human grade dog food that I prepare.

Garlic has been used for centuries as a blood tonic.  There has recently been controversy over feeding dogs garlic.  Too much can cause a disease called hemolytic anemia.  Too much means 50 cloves at one time – that is too much for anyone!  Conservative use of one or 2 cloves per 50lb dog a few times a week has so many benefits.  Now even the AAFCO (American Association of Feed Control Officials) recognizes garlic as safe.  The AAFCO is responsible for monitoring the safety of animal feed products and gathers information from professional toxicologists from all over the United States.

Let’s look at some of the amazing natural health benefits of garlic. It has effects on many organ systems. For the skin, it makes its way through sweat glands and pores.  Insects are 10,000 times more sensitive to its smell, making garlic an effective natural deterrent against ticks, fleas and mosquitoes.  Imagine, no fleas for your dog just by feeding human grade dog food containing garlic. For the stomach, garlic triggers gastric juices for better digestion and promotes the growth of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract.  It also has the ability to help regulate blood sugar and reduces cholesterol and triglycerides while purifying the liver by helping with detoxification. Garlic also contains the powerful antioxidant, selenium.  Selenium activates enzymes, which protect against cancer.  Cancer is the leading cause of non-accidental deaths in dogs.  The National Cancer Institute has found garlic to be effective in slowing the growth of cancer cells.

In summary, we can see that garlic stimulates immunity. It has antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral properties. It also aids in digestion and detoxification

The power of nature is seen again in the wonderful effects of garlic.  The best way to receive these benefits is through eating a diet rich in whole, natural, unprocessed foods.  Dogs, like people live longer when fed human grade dog foods that contain vitamins, minerals and real ingredients like natural garlic.  It is a simple thing to do to add to the health and vitality of your canine family!  And it tastes great too!
