This all goes back about seven years. It's still not understood but it's thought to be a sensitivity on the part of some dogs -- not all dogs. Of course it only makes sense to avoid grapes and raisins for our dogs.
Just like onions, garlic contains thiosulphate, which is toxic to dogs and especailly to cats. Onions are more of a danger because of the amount of thiosulphate in the vegetable.
Pets affected by thiosulphate toxicity will develop haemolytic anaemia. While some dogs can tolerate some garlic, it should be used cautiously, if at all.Private Reply to Ann Rader (new win) |
