My golden retrievers do just fine eating garlic. I add 2 cloves minced into their dog food. Prevents fleas and mosquitoes. I'm not sure about ticks, since we don't have them in my city. Garlic prevents heart disease and cancer in people, maybe it can do the same for dogs as well.

Garlic is poison to dogs....lease do not feed your dog garlic.

I put minced garlic in my dogs dogs food if I notice a flea problem or he starts scratching and biting, feed it to him and he stops scratching and moaning! I only do it when he seems uncomfortable not all the time, like you said you don't want to give them TOO MUCH!
