I'm going to let the experts answer this. Dr. Pitcairn recommends the following doses, based on the size/weight of the dog: • 10 to 15 pounds - half a clove • 20 to 40 pounds - 1 clove • 45 to 70 pounds - 2 cloves • 75 to 90 pounds - 2 and a half cloves • 100 pounds and over - 3 cloves The general consensus is small doses are not harmful. Frankly, I think the amount of garlic used by the guy in the video is a little on the heavy side. Dr. Pitcairn is a D.V.M. with a Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology. I was also encouraged to see Dr. Marty (Dr. Martin Goldstein, who has appeared on Oprah), author of The Nature of Animal Healing, also recommends adding garlic to home-made pet food and feeds garlic to his own cats and dogs on a regular basis. They key here is moderation. It's definitely not a matter of "If some is good; MORE is better." Thanks for visiting our site! Beth & Jaime McKittrin Emerson: Good questions.
