  for Dogs in your yard.
• Start With a Fence (or Other Perimeter)
• The very ?rst step to creating a dog-friendly
  garden is ensuring that your dog wont be able to
  escape accidentally. You want your pup to be
  able to enjoy the outdoor space for dogs even
  without human supervision. For most people and
  dogs, a typical fence will be ?ne. But be on the
  lookout for potential issues with your fence,
  such as wear and tear. Also, keep in mind your
  dogs ability to jump over or dig under your
  fence, and ensure you plan accordingly.
• Avoid Toxic Plants
• It should go without saying that any pet-friendly
  garden wont have plants that could be toxic to
  your dog. Before you plant anything in your
  garden, do a quick online search to con?rm it is
  pet-safe. You can easily ?nd a lengthy list of
  plants to avoid. Some of the most common culprits
  include
• Daffodils (the bulbs)

• Elephants ears
• Hydrangea
• Ivy
• Sweet pea

Add Other Dog-Friendly Surfaces Make sure other
surfaces are also dog-friendly. Avoid gravel,
asphalt, and concrete, as these can all be
uncomfortable on your dogs paws. Wood decking
and brick paths are better surfaces for your pet
to walk and run on. Give Your Pup Shade When
listing dog-proof garden ideas, dont forget your
canine companions need for shade. No matter your
dogs breed, he can sit in the sun only for so
long without getting overheated. Trees offer a
natural method of providing shade. You can use
larger seating areas that your pup can use as
shelter. Other options include garden umbrellas
or even a retractable canopy. Provide
Water Dont forget to put a bowl of water in
your pet-friendly garden. This will keep your dog
hydrated and prevent him from drinking the
potentially contaminated water hiding in your
water features. Keep Dangerous Tools Away You
likely have plenty of tools for your landscaping
needs, but you dont want your pup to gain access
to them. Pet-friendly gardens should have a
designated shed for storing potentially dangerous
tools. You can also keep them in your garage or
sturdy garden bins. Keep Slugs Away
Safely Slugs and snails can be fun for your
pooch to investigate, but they can also carry
parasites. Those lungworm parasites can lead to
hemorrhaging, heart issues, breathing issues, and
more. You dont want to get rid of slugs with
toxic snail bait, as that is dangerous for your
pup as well. So, look for dog-friendly options
instead. One common suggestion is to ?ll tubs
with beer in remote areas your dog cant reach.
The snails will be drawn to and drown in the tub,
helping you safely and effectively eliminate them
from your garden. Conclusion With the above
tips in mind, you are all set to create a
dog-friendly garden in your West Palm Beach home.
You may even ?nd yourself inviting other animal
lovers and their furry friends over!
