Ani Phyo has a vegan 95 pound dog Kanga, and she gives her about 2 cups of a raw pate twice a day:

1 clove garlic 1 tablespoon sea salt 1 cup sunflower seeds 1 cup almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts, pecans, or walnuts 2 cups green and vegetables (kale, spinach, squash, carrots) 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (basil, oregano, cilantro, dill) 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Process garlic and salt into small pieces. Add sunflower seeds and nuts and process into a powder. Add remaining ingredients and mix well, and drizzle with olive oil before serving. (From "Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen")

There is a controversy regarding feeding onion and garlic to pets. The key to safe use of garlic on dogs is the **dosage level** and **frequency of use**.

Dr. Martin Goldstein (author of //The Nature of Animal Healing//) recommends adding garlic to home-made pet food and he himself feeds garlic to his own cats and dogs on a regular basis.

Dr. Pitcairn (author of //The Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats//) recommends the following amount of fresh garlic for dogs, according to their size: http://www.natural-dog-health-remedies.com/garlic-for-dogs.html
 * 10 to 15 pounds - half a clove
 * 20 to 40 pounds - 1 clove
 * 45 to 70 pounds - 2 cloves
 * 75 to 90 pounds - 2 and a half cloves
 * 100 pounds and over - 3 cloves
