Garlic can be toxic to pets and cause anemia. Fleas may not bite something
that smells like garlic, but it doesn't kill them and certainly doesn't keep
them away from the environment and looking for other hosts (like us).


I would trust my vet for his opinion. frontline seems to be doing the
trick for me.
