I've recently learned that powdered garlic is bad for dogs. Can you give any advice on that ?
Full Question:
I have recently received information from a family friend that indicated powdered garlic is detrimental to your dog's health. (Contains sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Toxic ingredient thiosulphates http://www.risingwoods.org). We have been using garlic powder, along with kelp and alfalfa powders in our dog's raw diet. Can you give us some advice on this?Your response would be appreciated.

We don’t use the powdered garlic for the dogs, we use the Azmira Garlic formulated for cats and dogs.
My advice is if you are worried about toxicity, then do not feed it. It’s not a requirement in a dog’s diet.
