Muchas personas recomendarán el ajo para el tratamiento de pulgas en perros y gatos, pero no parece haber mucha evidencia sobre su efectividad. Otros también han escuchado que puede ser malo para sus perros y gatos. Entonces, ¿cuál es? En este artículo, intentaremos abordar cada una de estas preguntas.
¿El ajo mata las pulgas?
Garlic is not supposed to kill fleas, but some have said that it works to repel them. If you have these creatures living in your house you may want to try garlic oil or the actual garlic cloves. Other than this anecdotal evidence from those who swear by it, there does not seem to be any hard scientific evidence that it actually works.
¿El ajo es seguro para perros y gatos?
While small amounts of garlic can be okay for cats and dogs, larger amounts can damage red blood cells. Both cats and dogs are sensitive to garlic, but cats are especially susceptible to damage. The amount of garlic that can cause damage is different from pet to pet, so it is impossible to know how much is too much. For this reason and the lack of evidence supporting its effectiveness, I don’t think trying to treat fleas with garlic is worth the risk.
