HOWEVER!!! PLEASE be aware that garlic (and other aliums e.g. onion) are considered POISONOUS to dogs in large quantities and in fact are often found on veterinary list of foods NOT to be fed to dogs! Both garlic and onion cause anemia, (onion also causes a potentially fatal blood disorder – Heinz disease). Garlic contains a compound named thiosulphate – in high levels thiosulphate is a dangerous toxin that cause hemolytic anemia in dogs.

The ‘flip’ side of this is that because garlic promotes the production of white blood cells, it acts as an immune system booster for dogs with low or compromised immunity, and garlic can also benefit dogs with diabetes because this action helps to reduce blood-sugar levels.

Perhaps you should stress in your recipes that garlic should only be used in SMALL QUANTITIES:-)
