Both garlic and onion can be toxic to dogs, cats, and other animals. Cats appear to be more sensitive than dogs. In dogs and cats, onions and garlic can cause a breakdown of the red blood cells, resulting in Heinz body anemia. The bulbs, bulbets, flowers, and stems of the garlic and onion can all be toxic. There are some human baby foods that have onion in them, and it is not recommended to feed them to pets. The very small amounts of garlic that are present in some commercial pet foods have not be shown to cause any problems.

There are two different opinions about garlic:
1. It is not good for dogs.
2. It is good for dogs and it keeps pests out of their coats (which it does not)
My theory is why give him/her something that might be bad for them.

I am a breeder and vet assistant and give ALL of my dogs garlic; just don't go overboard with it. It DOES keep fleas at bay when you give it to them for long periods of time.

no matter the breed, garlic treats are good for dogs. just dont over feed them with treats.

It will not hurt him one bit just watch him a little while and make sure he is OK and watch his breath.
