Garlic to Treat Worms in Dogs?

I don't have money to go to a vet or buy any over the counter medications for my two dogs for worms. The only garlic have is minced garlic. Prince weighs about 20 lbs and Coco is probably about 30. Can anyone help me by letting me know how much I should use for both my dogs? I really don't know if one or both have them, but I do know that the worms are little white ones. So I thought safest thing would be to give both some garlic.

Please do not give your dogs garlic or any human food/spices without vet approval. Garlic can cause anemia which can eventually lead to death.

Some vets will give guidance over the phone if the dogs are established patients. If the dogs are not established anywhere, find out from your local animal shelter who cares for pets in need when the owners cannot afford care. Most towns have some assistance.

When you are speaking with a vet, there is some evidence that pumpkin seeds can help deworm dogs, but it must be done under vet guidance and not just on your own, because too much can cause gastro problems.

You say you do not have finances for medications but this is something you will have buy because home remedies are not always that effective for removing worms.
First: What kind of worms do you think your dogs have? Is there evidence of worms in their poo? Or do you think they have tape worms? Have your dogs been sick lately?

You may be able to find some information you can use on one of these links; and an explanation of types of worms that dogs can have;

Most home remedy sites state to contact your vet for amounts to use.
If you decide you really need something better for your dogs you should contact your local Humane Society and ask for advice. They may be able to help you, especially now during this virus problem.

You can also contact any Tractor Supply store or any farm store as they have OTC meds for all animals.
Pet stores also have these but I like the farm stores because they deal with real live animals all the time.
You are to be commended for asking for advice before giving anything to your pets so I hope you can find what you need without having to spend a lot of money that must be very scarce right now.

Our vet told my son to give his dog a little bit of pure pumpkin with his meals as it was one of the best all around good things a dog could eat.

This is NOT pumpkin pie filling but pure pumpkin (in a can usually).

Do not feed garlic to your fur baby please. It's harmful for dogs.

Perhaps you could take your dog to the SPCA for a reduced fee. Dont give anything to your dog unless it is approved by a vet.

You could call the Human Society in your area for advice/help. There are also links to asking questions help. - www.justanswer.com/.../dog-veterinary? - pocketsense.com/paying-heartworm-meds-treatment-7505571... also sometimes you can contact the heartworm makers, and ask them if there are any samples or help.
