Garlic v. ticks

      In Spring and Autumn ticks are particularly active and a risk of getting  piroplasmosis is very high. Now every dog owner can find a great variety of drops, sprays and collars to protect pets against this dangerous disease, however they cann't provide 100 % guarantie. We use drops every three weeks and inspite of all our efforts we find a tick or two rather often. This May our mali was unlucky and got piroplasmosis. The end was happy but it made me think about additional preventive measures. I found one in a "dogs" boutique during FMBB 2013 in Koper - it is a supplement on the garlic basis (a powder which is added into dogs' food). It works in a few days from the first adding. During two weeks as we give this supplement no ticks are found. It seems to add some garlic into dogs food (if the supplement is not found) will be also a good measure additional to traditional sprays or drops.
