Hi Leah
Garlic is not bad for dogs as such. Large quantities can cause stomach irritation. Although it is from a similar plant family as onions it is not the same. Onions should NEVER be fed to dogs as they cause aenemia.
There is a product called Flee-eze which is made from garlic, apple cider and herbs and is great for keeping fleas away naturally and boosting the overall system of your pets. It is available at GreenPet.
Specifically for ticks I would go to: www.holisticanimalmedicines.com as they have herbal and homeopathic remedies for ticks.
I hope that helps.
