SFRAW Recommends: Garlic! Yes, Garlic (in moderation) is Safe for Dogs & Cats – Here’s Why and How To Use This Traditional Healing, Healthful, Tasty Functional Food Herb
SFRAW Products Contain Garlic: Rotatially & Seasonally SFRAW’s Veggie Mixes, Vitality Blend and SFRAW Formulas (which contain our Vitality Blend) all contain small amounts of fresh, certified organic garlic (sourced locally) and/or ginger (from certified organic suppliers in Hawaii or Peru).
