Your yard and garden should be a safe, fun haven for the whole family, and that includes your cuddly dog. Many commonplace garden products can be dangerous and sometimes fatal to dogs. Slug pellets are especially toxic, as are several weed killers, so please, read the instructions carefully and above all, keep these products well out of reach of your pet. If he is unlucky enough to come into contact with something harmful, or you only suspect he has, contact your vet immediately.
Your dog and plants

Tasty Tips
Your dog and garden tools
If your dog is playing in the yard or garden, never use a lawnmower or weed eater as these can cause severe injuries. Never leave tools with sharp blades and points lying around; if your dog stands on one, he can be badly injured. And to protect you from getting a soaking, don't leave the hose out for him to chew on!
