Grau Garlic granules 400 g

Product information "Garlic Granulate"

100% pure garlic granules, gently dried and cleaned, for daily supplementary feeding to dogs and cats.

Due to the high purity and naturalness of our garlic, even a small amount is enough. In order to achieve the desired effect, daily supplementary feeding for 3 weeks is necessary.

Garlic in processed form is not harmful to animals but works in their favor as a natural protection against ticks and fleas! Garlic has a high content of essential oils, which mask the smell of lactic acid emitted by the skin and thus prevent ticks and fleas from catching (damage their trigger mechanism). Animals thus become unattractive to pests. In addition, garlic also has antibacterial and antiarteriosclerotic properties.

It also helps to reduce Horse-fly atacks, which can be a serious poblem during warm months.

Is Garlic Poisonous to Dogs?

It is discussed again and again in various Internet forums and reports are circulating in the press about it: Garlic could cause poisoning in our pets. However, that cannot be said in general terms, but rather has to pay more attention to some aspects!

Swiss studies have shown that a dose of around 5 g of FRESH garlic per kg of body weight per day can have a toxic effect. That would mean that z. For example, a 10 kg dog would need 50 g of garlic. That's the equivalent of about 16 (!) Toes a day. For a dog weighing 25 kg it would even mean that he would have to eat 125 g daily, i.e. more than 40 (!) Cloves of garlic - these are unrealistic amounts. The latest Dutch studies (June 2013) even show that the critical dose is only reached at 15 to 30 g per kg of body weight per day!

As soon as a fresh clove of garlic is cut, sulphurous substances are created that can be problematic for dogs and cats. However, these evaporate easily in the air. However, you should refrain from feeding FRESH garlic.

In the Grau products garlic granules and garlic tablets, these sulphurous substances are present in dried form and therefore do not play a role for the animal.
