One of my hairy slobbery sister Sam's favorite things to nosh after we moved back to the big house, was the garlic chives that a tenamt had planted and had spread through the yard (Boy they is hard to get rid of!). Those lovly greens grows faster than grass! Being the good Pet pawrent she is, Mommy would not use heavy duty herbesides. <br />Sam's indulgence, combined with the other meds she was taking for arthritis, caused kidney failure and her trip over the bridge.If yous has a dog that likes greens and is on medications, use the herbacides to gets rid of the plants! Keeping the pets away for a couple of days is well worth it!<br />Nellie<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349527615197248660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-72942972951715310192012-10-01T19:36:47.180-05:002012-10-01T19:36:47.180-05:00I knew that cats and dogs can't take onions an...I knew that cats and dogs can't take onions and chocolates~<br />And some flowers~michico*Adan*Lego-小芥*阿丹*樂高https://www.blogger.com/profile/04191560240514459312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-84673456365295532062012-10-01T19:33:52.224-05:002012-10-01T19:33:52.224-05:00What a wonderfully informative post!

I guess I'm lucky that Nicki and Derry don't like people food--no danger they'll eat any onions, etc. when I'm cooking (which happens rarely, as I loathe cooking/food prep). Heck, I can leave meat, fish, and poultry out on my counter and the boys don't even make an attempt to get at it. <br /><br />-Kim (Fuzzy Tales' mom)<br /><br />P.S.

Ingrid King of The Conscious Cat warns that some cats are allergic to brewer's yeast, so people would need to be on alert for that. And since garlic has recently (within the past 6-8 years or so) been found to be toxic as mentioned in the post, that garlic-free brewer's yeast is best used.A Tonlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088764837982515116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-45569807207806544332012-10-01T13:51:06.476-05:002012-10-01T13:51:06.476-05:00Not familiar with brewer's yeast & garlic....Not familiar with brewer's yeast & garlic. If that's a garlic additive in brewer's yeast, I'd say it falls under the above. We would need to find out what the concentration of garlic was in the brewer's yeast to determine if there is toxicity - and at what level of consumption.A Tonlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088764837982515116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-50091180170453870242012-10-01T12:22:41.826-05:002012-10-01T12:22:41.826-05:00I cook for the furries and some recipes say to add...I cook for the furries and some recipes say to add a clove or two of garlic which I find very strange, having read that garlic is toxic to animals (I don't add it to the food I make).
