GARLIC is small dosages is fine: ( as long as you have a healthy dog) Omega 3 is very much needed for joints/ hips and patella ( Knee ) health.

What are you feeding your dog? No no no! Don't make your poor dog eat that stuff!!
I don't think it will do your dog very much harm, but pickles are NOT something that you should be feeding to your dog.
no dog would be fine..mine have eaten it a few times just be careful how much scraps your feeding your dog more so even if its a small dog as they have more sensitive digestive systems.
Yes, but only with certain dewormers - there are a couple safe ones for nursing dogs. Your veterinarian can help you select a safe and effective dewormer for your dog if she needs it at this time.
it depends on the size of your dog, if you are feeding your dog bones, and the dog is able to finish off that bone that day, then it should be safe as long as you are substituting it for a meal. the bone should be the size of a normal healthy meal for the dog
garlic is bad for all dogs
No, garlic doesn't outright kill a dog. If given too much, a dog can get very sick, but it doesn't usually kill a dog. A little garlic powder sprinkled on a dogs' food has been suggested to help control fleas, so it doesn't hurt if there isn't too much garlic.
Many people believe that feeding their animals a garlic supplement will kill fleas.
No, garlic causes changes in red blood cells of dogs and is toxic. It is more potent than onions. To be on the safe side, avoid even treats with high concentration of garlic (bulbs, bulbets, flowers, and stems) are toxic.
yes because it is garlic i put it in noodles
Not all dogs have bad reactions to garlic. Many owners report a shiner coat and less fleas after adding garlic to their pet's diet. However, in significant quantities both garlic and onions are poisonous to dogs. They can cause anemia if enough is consumed. The AAHA and ASPCA recommend that you do not feed garlic to any dogs.
because of eating garlic?
