Is there any trurth to Fleas hate garlic??

Question

I heard they hate the taste,and will not stay on an animal if they taste like garlic. Is this true??

Answer 1

If your dogs have fleas a aquuick fix is bathing them in the orginal green palmolive. You will be amazed on all the fleas that come out! its just temporary though since your dog amy be outside where they can jump back on him. go to vet to get meds.

Answer 2

There may be some truth as an overall repellent, but it won't alleviate an existing flea infestation and if your dog or cat is subject to flea allergy dermatitis, even one flea can cause weeks of itching and misery. Also dogs are often allergic to or experience toxicity from garlic.

I strongly recommend Frontline Plus or Advantage if your animal has fleas.

Answer 3

I think it is yes, my best friend has a boxer, and he sprinkeld gralic on her food to get it in her digestive system, and it seemed like it actually worked, but as far as putting garlic on the dog its self....i have no idea, youll just have to try it and see what happens, whats the worst thats gonna happen...the dog will smell like garlic...no biggy lol
