We had a cat who demanded his share of cantaloup and would climb my pants leg to get my attention. All he wanted was one piece, but that he just had to have.
As for not feeding dogs garlic, I did that every day or so with our Dobermans, who not only lived but were not much bothered with fleas. Sometimes we get all these Thou shall Nots and then it changes in a few years. I don't believe much that I read or hear, even from vets. I've had some bad advice from my own doctors...
I had a dog who had pups and they all had fleas so bad! I didn't know what to do because they were so so young (and in my defense, I was too!). I started sprinkling garlic powder on Mom's food and she loved it!!! And the best part? The pups didn't have fleas after that either! Powerful stuff!
She wouldn't eat her food without garlic on it after that. When I forgot, she'd look at the bowl, then look at me until I sprinkled garlic on it!
When my son was a little fella, I would tell him that prune juice was Coke and put it in his sippy cup. Mom and Dad had Coke with dinner... so did he! He's 15 and still regular!
