I have heard onions are bad for dogs, but garlic less so because it's just a member of the same family. When I make my tuna cake I use a clove of garlic but then imagine that is spread through hundreds of small treats and it's not very much. Some people who make liver cake use a whole bulb! I don't allow other people to feed my dogs home made treats, just in case. I think there is a worry with a small dog if they eat a whole bulb, but little bits here and there don't build up in the system. Fred stole a load of carrot, potato and parsnip peelings from my compost heap yesterday (can't use the bin with a lid as there are bees nesting at the moment). Later that night he sicked it all up again, along with his dinner, while I was out, my son locked him in the house and left it outside. Then Fred got really angry with me when I came home and let him out (unknowingly!) and had to stop him eating it all over again. We can't watch them all the time.
