Now that I am feeding the raw diet, I still keep coming up with a million questions, I have learned that the garlic is n ot recommended for the diet, but, now I am noticing that garlic is in some of the treats, ex. Z-Filets, so is garlic safe in these types of treats by the way they are processed?

Please don't rely on safety information from the company that's trying to sell you the questioned item.
Garlic is toxic to dog in large amounts. The problem is that "large" is different for different dogs, just as with grapes/raisins.

Garlic in the amounts that it's present in treats I've seen (that is, at or near the bottom of the ingredient list) is much smaller than reported to trigger thiosulphate poisoning. Thiosulphate poisoning has been reported from onions much more often, even when the dog has eaten a dish with lots of onion in it (as opposed to eating plain onion), and from garlic only when the dog has eaten actual garlic. Foods flavored with a little garlic haven't done it, from everything I have read.

you kidding me? it keeps fleas away also. ok how bout this then, research indicates that garlic is a natural antibiotic and fungal fighter, thins the blood , preventing platlets from sticking together and clotting= lower blood pressure and risk of heart disease and stroke, its good for its high selenium content plus (C & E) but you probably already knew this,if you have to question the process then IMO i woulndt feed it to my dogs.

All the benefits to humans are well known. (Dogs, of course, have different heart disease from the kind that humans most often have; dogs have heart failure, but not heart attacks. They don't have the coronary-arterial disease that we have.)
In dogs, garlic and onions cause thiosulphate poisoning.
I assume you read the ASPCA and vet links I posted above?
All this has been covered here many times, Michael, and you'll find a ton on info with the "search" function up on the top of the page, (red type) near "active topics." Expand the date rate from the pre-set one week to get more search results.

Research indicates that it can cause haemolytic anaemia. See above links.

You are recommending something based on anecdotal evidence (one dog, I gather, too).
Please don't do that when it's something that we have posted many authoritative sources telling us that it can poison dogs at unpredictable and individuals levels of consumption.
