Garlic, Onions, Grapes/Raisins, and Avocaodos are POISONOUS TO DOGS! A number of "healthfood" sites recommend giving these to dogs for tapeworms and vitamin supplements. STOP THIS MADNESS!
Symptoms dont show in dogs poisioned with garlic, grapes and onions for 3-5 days which makes it more difficult for people to realize why their dog is sick. Yet many "natural healthfood remedy" sites are sharing articles recommending these poisons for dogs with tapeworms or as a health supplement. DOGS ARE NOT HUMANS! Garlic is good for humans NOT FOR DOGS! Help stop this madness. Spread the word. Share this Meme.

Only in large amounts though yeah? There are a few supplements that have garlic as one of the ingredients but not enough where it is a danger to your dog. http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/Only-Natural-Pet-Brewers-Yeast-Garlic/999045.aspx just an example
I would say grapes/raisins are the only ones that can be harmful in smaller amounts. Someone once linked a study that showed the only dogs SHOWN to have died from onion/garlic poisoning ate something like 2lbs of onions or a head of garlic.
no even in small amounts it still kills off red blood cells and strains kidneys... http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/06/the-dangers-of-onion-toxicity/ just because the dog does not drop dead does not mean they should be eating it, your argument is like saying cyanide in cigarettes is safe because its in small enough doses that it doesnt kill you today.
the dog is losing mass amounts of red blood cells causing a host of illnesses.
there is no. good. reason. to give dogs or cats any amount of garlic or onions in dog treats. it is a gimmick that sells toxic dog treats to ignorant owners.
more documentation: pay special attention to "CUMULATIVE DAMAGE over time from onions" "NO GARLIC is best" "even a small amount can lead to severe poisoning, and if not caught in time, death." read articles:

this is just the first three links, there are many more if you are smart enough to disbelieve the "naturopath" websites that of course say it OK because they are selling these! DUH!
Your own article says garlic is fine in moderation. Grapes, avocados, and onions are dangerous, though, I'll agree with you on that.
read it again. it does not say its "fine" it says in very very low amounts its not severely toxic, BUT IS STILL TOXIC and ideally NO GARLIC should be added. and any fool can logically deduce that at BEST it is adding a poison at a non lethal level. why!? Why would you add ANY poison to a dog biscuit!? it has NO BENEFIT TO THE DOG AND IS HARMFUL.
would you sprinkle a little cyanide on your breakfast cereal? not enough to kill you or put you in the hospital, but just a little? for flavor? fuck no you wouldnt! ITS A POISON.
you also apparently skimmed over the part about "cumulative effects over time leading to health problems later in life"
what sane person would argue this topic? seriously. its madness. pure insanity. like lobbying for cigarettes for children or something. "it wont kill em until theyre older, WHY NOT?"
no even in small amounts it still kills off red blood cells and strains kidneys... http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/06/the-dangers-of-onion-toxicity/ just because the dog does not drop dead does not mean they should be eating it, your argument is like saying cyanide in cigarettes is safe because its in small enough doses that it doesnt kill you today.
