Anecdotal evidence suggests that garlic is effective against fleas.

Brewer's Yeast and Garlic combine
two proven food-derived substances with numerous health-supportive
properties to help your pet maintain a stronger immune system and
healthier skin and coat - along with the often-reported benefit of
greater protection from fleas and ticks. The health-building factors in
ingredients derived from natural food sources are recognized by the
body and assimilated more easily than when introduced in isolated
forms. What's more, food derived ingredients often contain small
amounts of enzymes and other nourishing substances that work with the
key health factors present in the food to enhance their beneficial
effects.
This powder offers the time-honored brewer's yeast and
garlic formula that helps repel fleas and ticks. The exact nature of
brewer's yeast and garlic's effect on insect parasites isn't always
agreed-upon. Some people claim it has to do with the odor (mild to us,
but unpleasant to parasites) released through the pet's skin as the
naturally occurring compounds in the food are metabolized. Others say
it's the taste imparted to our pets' skin that fleas and ticks find
distasteful. Whichever the case may be, many guardians report that Brewer's Yeast & Garlic keeps fleas and ticks off their pets, help resolve excessive shedding,
and provide relief to allergic issues affecting their pets' skin.
We
definitely know that pets with healthy immune systems are at far lower
risk of being targeted by parasites, which clearly favor animals in
poor health as their preferred hosts. Garlic has been used for its
health-strengthening properties for thousands of years, and the high
B-vitamin content of brewer's yeast makes it a natural choice for
immune system support. The key food-based ingredients in the Brewer's Yeast & Garlic formula are:
- Garlic
- This revered herb has been used throughout the ages as a health tonic
for its antimicrobial properties. Used historically as a natural
antibiotic, garlic is the subject of contemporary human research for
its action against bacteria found in the stomach thought to be related
to the development of ulcers. Garlic has properties believed to support
digestive, respiratory and cardiovascular functioning, to strengthen
the immune system and to fight parasites in the intestinal tract.
- Brewer's Yeast
- Nutritional yeast has long been a staple health food substance for
pets and people. Brewer's yeast is known as an excellent source of
amino acids and B-complex vitamins, which assist in skin and tissue
repair, help maintain proper nerve functioning, and support a healthy
response to stress.
A note about garlic: Though long
known and used as a safe medicinal plant in holistic medicine for
people and pets, garlic has come under scrutiny recently for the role
one of its compounds may play in a condition affecting the red blood
cells in some pets (the development of Heinz bodies). Please know that
the amount of garlic found in this brewer's yeast and garlic as
well as any of the natural health products, treats and foods we carry
is included at levels known to be safe for our animal companions.
Garlic would need to be ingested at extremely high levels for an
extended period of time to have a detrimental effect on a companion
animal's health.
