Expert: Herbs, NuVet Plus Supplements, Dog/Cat Food Recipes; ( Marie) - 8/28/2009

Question
I read where fish oil and garlic powder are just some of the supplements you can use to help.  I always thought that garlic was a no no for a dog.  What is the truth.   I also want to know what to say to a vet who insists that the benefits outweigh the risks of a vaccine.  Thanks so much.

Answer
vaccine reactions ; garlic for dogs ; NuVET supplements:

Hello June - Garlic is very safe in SMALL monitored amounts for dogs.  I have used garlic for years in small amounts...  Many of my clients use Garlic but all are small amounts of usage.

The NuVET Plus has garlic and brewer's yeast in each wafer or powder supplement.
Everything is moderate dosages of herbs and vitamins.  We have had great luck with the NuVET program - it is an immune system booster and allergy Blaster.

Now, as far as fish oil - I like PURE salmon oil better.
You can use a small amount of Salmon oil per day - mixed into the food.

Vaccines: Oh, Boy - that is a CAN of WORMS....
I like to spread out vaccines and omit a few if needed.
I go by Dr. Dodd's Vaccine list:  ( you can do a search on her)
