Poisonous Dangers in the Garden for Dogs

Dollarphotoclub 44212772smlThe garden conjures many memories of wonderful times with our canine friends, but it can also be a place which harbours danger for them.

While many of the products we use in our gardens such as fertilisers, insecticides and herbicides are generally not harmful when applied via package instructions, concentrated amounts can be, and it seems dogs are super great at finding these concentrated levels stored in the shed. Store any chemicals for the garden out of reach: on the top shelf in a box is a good idea. After applying anything to your garden ensure your dog does not have access to this area for at least the reccommended period on the packaging.

Take extra care with snail pellets, as many practices see many cases of dogs who’ve poisoning from these. If you suspect your dog has eaten some please phone us straight away on 0409 884 377.

These are plants which are poisonous for dogs. It might be a good idea to keep this in mind when landscaping your property:
