Hi,
I posted here since I know all the barfers know a lot about natural care.:)
Right now I feed Wellness. It has whole clove garlic in it, down into the label a bit. How much garlic could I give my two to prevent fleas and mosquitos. I am taking baby steps, but doing things the natural way more and more everyday - most thanks to boxerworld where I have learned so much.
Thank you for all your help.

I've heard the garlic thing is just a myth. Just what I've heard, not very sure though.

Nope, the garlic thing works for us just fine :) Rocks gets garlic several times a week.

A garlic clove is made up of several smaller parts. Just pluck out one of these part, cut it up into small pieces and mix it together with the food.

There used to be this stray dog that hangs around my neighbourhood, totally infested with ticks. My mum used to throw in a whole clove of garlic into the food we give to him. After a week, all the ticks were gone.

Hence I feed Oski with garlic in his meal every evening as he rans in the jungle everyday. I guess its the garlic that has helped him to stay tick free.
