Wellness Chicken- Garlic

Well after awhile of Chessy refusing any wet food except Fancy Feast and Meow Mix, I finally found a good one he will eat- Wellness Chicken. I know it is great except that it has garlic in it...how bad is the garlic exactly?

Thanks!

Jenny, do a search for "garlic" in this forum (go to the health and forum main menu, and select "search this forum". You will find many threads that debate the health risks/benefits. A search for "wellness" will also bring up many results.

Okay, thanks!

I've read that garlic, when fed to cats, can help keep fleas away, but also can cause anemia in cats (I wonder if it can in humans, too--I'm severly anemic, and have been cooking with garlic the past few years--but I was diagnosed many years ago--but come to think of it, I've felt worse since eating garlic for my health!). I think garlic thins the blood, so you may want to consider the ramifications of that for your cats. However, maybe there's not enough garlic in that cat food to cause ill effects.
