Plants are growing, being planted and gardeners are preparing fertilizer for their gardens. This can be a dangerous time for dogs.
Plants such as crocus, tulips, daffodils and lily of the valley contain toxins that are harmful to dogs if the bulbs are chewed.
Fertilizers that include cocoa mulch, blood & bone meal, disulfoton and any organophosphates are also very hazardous to dogs. The same goes for many herbicides and pesticides. Anything lying on the surface or even in loose soil can get on dog's fur and later be ingested.
Raised beds are a good idea for dog owners who are also gardeners and if you must fertilize your lawn or garden then either use a pet-friendly product or keep your pet away from the garden.
Your local garden centre will have access to all the information as to what plants and products are safe to use around dogs.
