I feed a bit of garlic in the food , it is a natural bug repellant . Not 100% ( nothing is ) but I have never had any issues since starting to use it . And we live in the woods with tons of bugs .

It is supposed to help with fleas & ticks . I have been using it with my dogs for 5 years . I do not find many ticks , maybe 1 or 2 a year since we moved and now live in a heavily wooded area . My neighbors pull off a few ticks a week on both of their 2 dogs .

Dr Messonnier recommends one clove/day per 10-30 lbs. Not to use if your dog has anemia, or 1 week before or after surgery.
