Not only does garlic help deter the fleas it is also known for giving nutritional  support to the cardiovascular system and the immune system keeping your pet healthy naturally. Make it a routine to regularly bathe, brush and comb your pet, they enjoy it as much as we do. Pets may also benefit like humans from taking a daily supplementation of omega-3 fatty acid fish oil.
