What would happen if you fed your dog🐶 245 cloves of garlic🧄 in a week??

21 years ago an experiment was conducted by Japanese scientists🇯🇵 who wanted to know what would happen if dogs were fed lots of Garlic Extract🧄💦 for 7 days straight.

At the end of the trial, NO dogs died.🙏

In fact, none of the dogs even showed any symptoms, but the scientists found microscopic🔬 changes in some red blood cells🩸, leading to the conclusion that garlic may be toxic☠️ to dogs.

How much garlic extract was fed to these dogs in the study, you ask? Well it would be the equivalent of feeding a 70lb golden retriever🐕 245 cloves of garlic for one week (2.46lbs of raw garlic).

Since then, the ASPCA, American Kennel Club, HSUS and most online pet resources continue to say “garlic is toxic to pets," but garlic is listed as a safe pet food ingredient by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). Confused? So are most pet lovers around the world.

Tune in to our Forever Dog Food Myth Busters Facebook live tomorrow at 10am ET on The Forever Dog page.

We cover garlic confusion and many other urban legend food fears in our upcoming book, The Forever Dog, available now for pre-order.

Pumpkins are low in calories but high in essential vitamins and minerals. The high concentration of vitamin A (beta - carotene) gives it rich orange colour. Did you know that pumpkin seeds are a great source of omega 3 and fatty acids which in itself contain anti - inflammatory properties.? Oh and they taste great as well according to Archie.

Happy week end everyone!
