Landscaping for your Dog!
Dogs need a place to call their own in your house, a place to provide entertainment, let some energy out, and not get yelled at if they chew up something.
Making sure plants are not toxic if your beloved pup take a nibble on one of their leaves.Azaleas and rhododendrons, black walnut, and oleander are just a few plants that are toxic to animals if digested. For a complete list visit http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/plants/
Keep fertilizers out of your pet's reach. Make sure to wait the appropriate time before letting the four legged creature run around in your recently fertilized lawn. Fertilizers can really upset your pet's stomach.
Some plants can actually repel fleas from your yard. When your dog brushes against these plants, the oil rubs off on their skin. Not only does this help combat fleas but makes the smell nice too!Some of these plants include rosemary, and sweet bay. A backyard of these tall grasses and perennials can keep your dog occupied for hours.
Just a few simple plant choices can enhance your dog's experience in their own backyard.
