BE SAFE OUTSIDE...<br />
From common pests, to potentially<br />
deadly fertilisers, mushrooms and weed<br />
killers, the garden can pose a number of<br />
threats to us four legged friends.<br />
I love being outside, especially at this time of year<br />
when I can play with my chickens... uff. Here are my<br />
top tips for animal saftey in the garden...<br />
Fruit...<br />
Many of you might be surprised to learn that the<br />
stones and pits in apricots, cherries, plums and<br />
peaches contain deadly cyanide. These fruits could<br />
therefore be very dangerous if they’re crushed<br />
before they’re consumed and larger stones could be<br />
a choking hazard too, whilst the stems and leaves<br />
might also be poisonous.<br />
Slugs and snails...<br />
I hate em! Dogs can catch a dangerous lungworm<br />
infection if they accidentally eat a slug or snail that<br />
carries the larvae of the parasite. Though your dog<br />
probably won’t want to consume slugs or snails, they<br />
should still be cleared away urgently, particularly any<br />
that are near toys or sources of water.<br />
deadly to dogs. Unripe, green or raw potatoes can<br />
be severely dangerous to dogs, whilst tomato leaves,<br />
azaleas and every part of a lily could be poisonous to<br />
dogs and cause vomiting, diarrhoea or even death.<br />
Yikes!<br />
Compost...<br />
Garden compost heaps will usually be packed full<br />
of mouldy food and waste, which can produce<br />
dangerous mycotoxins which are extremely<br />
dangerous to dogs.<br />
Weed killer...<br />
Swallowing or even licking many common<br />
domestic weed killers could be really risky for<br />
dogs and cause breathing or heart problems if<br />
enough is consumed.<br />

Plants...<br />
Tomatoes, potatoes, azaleas and lilies are just some<br />
of the common vegetables and flowers that can be<br />
