If you do go down the natural route and use garlic, be careful.  In large doses it is poisonous to dogs.  Though I believe it's safe in the doses used to prevent fleas.  And never, ever use garlic salt.

There is no credible evidence that garlic is poisonous - but very probably it is poisonous in extremely high doses like 10 whole bulbs or something, it would be poisonous to us too in that quantity!!

Garlic is entirely safe to use if used in recommended quantities.

There are even Garlic tablets which are fully licensed by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate since the 1970's, therefore they have been proven to be SAFE and effective. They are so so strict if there was even a hint that it was unsafe it would have its licence revoked.

This all started from one research paper that flew around the internet however the data and certain parts of the paper are really not entirely credible. Don't believe everything you read!!!
