No.

It contains compounds that are toxic in large amounts, but the general thinking that's it's toxic is largely a myth. The odd stolen bulb won't hurt

Nope. Studies have been done in the past, but the science has been completely misinterpreted. The toxic compound is thiosulphide, but an average dog would need to consume huge amounts to be in any danger. The compound in isolation is very toxic, but only in large amounts. That's not to say garlic won't cause digestive upsets.

Tusk gets tastes of whatever I eat, which usually involves large quantities of onion and garlic, but only tastes.

Maybe it's because he's French, but it never seems to do him any harm.

When he was younger he used to bring in snails from the garden to play with (not eat) vrai chien français!

We were using hot dogs but thought its a lot of salt for a pup.

I cut a mini cocktail sausage into 5 pieces, so 2 or 3 sausages do a whole 15-minute training exercise. I have a few bits of kibble as well, so it's not always a high-value treat, depending on what comes out of my pocket.

 

[sauer]

If I had a pocket of cut up cocktail sausages id end up eating them . .
One Xmas all want is a bowl of pigs in blankets and battered onion rings

I'm a garlic fan and my golden cocker used to eat anything I was having, (and a lot of stuff that I wouldn't get within 10 feet of......)
