How To Create A Pet Friendly Garden
How To Create A Pet Friendly Garden
We all love our pets and consider them part of the family. Therefore, it is vital that they do not come to any harm whilst out and about in the garden. Many of us unknowingly have poisonous plants in our gardens, and our cats and dogs have merely bypassed them without any adverse repercussions.
However, if you are seeking to take more care with your plant sourcing, it is important to identify some of the more hazardous varieties, incorporating safer options instead, providing you with peace of mind. Another factor to consider are the methods we choose when we seek to control pests and diseases. The only way to undertake this safely for our pets is through natural materials and remedies. The sweetness of any bait is equally as appealing to cats and dogs as it is to the pest that it has been designed to eradicate.
