reviews & comments
Is it safe to put garlic in our pet's food? I have been recently reading that it is poisonous to dogs.
Always consult with your vet before feeding your dog human food. That said, my vet has confirmed that garlic in small amounts on a non-regular basis is fine for dogs. It is, however, toxic to cats.
It would be nice to know the quantities of the vegetables in this recipe.
