KateP Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have recently bought some garlic powder after everyone here recommends it. How much do you add to the pellets? So far, I have added a teaspoon to the grub every time I have filled it. Is this enough? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 That should be fine. I add mine to my pellets box to save doing it every morning. I just chuck a whole load in (along with poultry spice) and mix it in. What doesn't coat the pellets sinks to the bottom and you can mix it into the next batch. I also add a teaspoon if they get a "meal" in their treat bowl. I don't think the dose is particularly important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Yep....I add a teaspoonful too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 sounds about right to me, my 'pellets pot' holds about two grubfuls, and I add a scoop and a half, using the scoop provided with the garlic. You will soon notice the difference! If you think things are getting a bit whiffy, add a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshirePud Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Maybe a stupid question, but what does the garlic powder help with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Maybe a stupid question, but what does the garlic powder help with? It keeps the smell of the poo down and it also alters the environment in the gut to make it a bit more hostile to parasites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshirePud Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks egluntine, that's a great help. Still waiting for a pick up date for our battery rescues, but will get some garlic powder in ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
