Question
I have a Elba. dachsund and this morning found worms in his stool. I was told by a neighbor to give him some garlic and it would kill them, is this true and how much would I give him?!

Answer
HI Monica
Yes garlic will be helpful, but long term use can also irritate the digestive system.  If you have a dog with very dry, red eyes, this too can be exaggerated if garlic is overused.

For some quick results add 1 - 2 cloves daily to meals for about a week or two.  Then see how you go.

For best results and long-term use you may want to look at a herbal tablet called Herbal Compound Tablets.  Or else there are a vast array of homeopathic animal worming solutions with garlic and black walnut as the main ingredients.  These are very powerful.  And you do not need to administer then daily - a couple of doses a year is sufficient.

These methods are far better than giving your pets chemical worming solutions.

I hope this is helpful.
Kind regards
