Many moons ago before half you lot were born (scary thought) we used to use Freemans Garlico wormer with the greyhounds, based on garlic.

We had an organic farmer as a client. Our vet bumped into him and his young puppy once and the puppy looked pot-bellied and had matted coat. The vet adviced him to de-worm the puppy prior his vaccinations and the farmer said he won't use any drugs for his cattle nor for his dog, but promised to take along a stool sample when they come for the first vaccination (a few weeks later). They came and the puppy looked wonderful - coat shined and he was slender. Nothing in the stool sample either.

"What have you done to this puppy?" asked the vet.

"What I've always done to de-worm my animals. Give them a hefty dose of garlic for a few days."

Well, at least the puppy looked wonderful and the sample was negative for worms.

apparently coconut oil, egg shells and shredded unsweetened coconut does the same for the gut. don't quote me on it though. I have no idea about garlic and I would really be skeptical about it and wonder if the guy just didn't want to buy any wormer from the vets!! lol there are some real pieces of work out there that HATE vets unless they absolutely need them. breeders and puppy farmers in particular.

This is taken from www.Petquote.co.uk:

Onions or garlic. Onions and garlic are another dangerous food ingredients that cause sickness in dogs, cats and also livestock. Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Onions are more of a danger. Pets affected by onion toxicity will develop haemolytic anaemia, where the pet’s red blood cells burst while circulating in its body. The poisoning occurs a few days after the pet has eaten the onion. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic. Left over pizza, Chinese dishes and commercial baby food containing onion, sometimes fed as a supplement to young pets, can cause illness. While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness. It is important to keep your dog out of the kitchen while you are cooking with onions or garlic, or at least keep a close eye on him.
