The law is specific. Only a qualified veterinary surgeon is allowed to treat animals. You can give your own animal ‘minor medical treatment’.
Giving supplements, flea treatment and using Rescue remedy is classed as minor but the way you have written it you make it sound like we shouldn’t even give garlic ::)

Correct. If you poison your dog using garlic as a remedy then you are liable for prosecution under the Act.
Obviously everyone here knows better – but the law is quite clear.
In the same way that sweetpea keeps on and on with misinformation and not one person has yet given any evidence that raw food diets are actually preferable. Like she’s studied nutrition – but couldn’t make any posts which weren’t sourced from Google in response to specific detailed items. Like the question of trytophan – their have been many controlled experiments on trytophan. There have been two that involved dog aggression alone.
I note that the vast majority of the posts are merely abusive – and I’ve seen the same thing in other parts of this forum. Frankly, if you treat your dogs in the same way then it makes your whole attitude suspect. I’m just sorry for the animals you keep.
Don’t bother to reply – I won’t bother to read any more from such an ignorant, nasty set of people.
