Whether you\u2019re a long-term dog owner or you\u2019ve recently welcomed a curious young puppy, you’ll want to create a dog friendly garden. We all recognise a safe outdoor space to entertain them is important.\u00a0<\/span>
\nBut what if you\u2019re green fingered and love your plants \u2013 can the garden suit you both?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes! With a few adjustments you can both enjoy the outdoor space. Let\u2019s take a look at how to create a beautiful, dog friendly garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Create

What dog doesn’t enjoy a good garden?<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Beware Toxic Plants<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019re not saying you need to dig up plants. If you\u2019ve grown them for years and your dog isn\u2019t bothered it\u2019s probably safe to leave them. New dog owners or those of us with insatiable chewers might need to exercise caution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dog toxic plants have a range of effects from itchy dermatitis to fatalities. The Dog\u2019s Trust<\/span> have a <\/span>toxic plant list<\/span><\/a> but here are the plants they list as potentially fatal to dogs \u2013 and therefore the ones you might want to avoid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amaryllis bulbs, <\/span>angel wings (caladium species), large quantities of azalea, castor bean, daffodil bulbs, dumb cane (dieffenbachia amaena), bergenia \u2013 that\u2019s elephant\u2019s ears, jessamine (cestrum species), thorn apple, larkspur, mistletoe, narcissus bulbs, nightshade, oleander, rhododendron, wild cherry trees, and yew.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, ragwort or any type of hemlock are toxic to just about everything including humans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Garden Dangers<\/b><\/p>\n

Other potentially harmful garden products include cocoa bean shell mulch which is a sweet-smelling by-product of the chocolate industry, sharp tools, poisons, insecticides, de-icer which is also sweet, and of course slug pellets.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, slugs and snails are a problem to gardeners and dog owners alike. Not only do they eat your plants, but some dogs seem to like eating snails!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This can mean any poison they\u2019ve ingested may harm your dog. Slugs and snails also carry lungworm. If your dog is coughing or has trouble breathing it\u2019s best to consult a vet. They may have been enjoying too many snail lunches.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Dog Friendly Plants?<\/b><\/p>\n

If the list of dog toxic plants has you frowning, don\u2019t feel too disappointed. If you love a plant that\u2019s toxic to your pooch you can still grow it, but perhaps it would be better suited to an area your dog can\u2019t access<\/span> such as a fenced off<\/span><\/a> space or in a raised bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are still plenty of beautiful plants to choose from to counteract any disappointment. Here\u2019s a selection of our favourite dog safe shrubs<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All types of roses \u2013 phew! Check out <\/span>Silver Anniversary<\/span><\/a> which is a pure white beauty. There\u2019s reliable winter blooming viburnum too – pink <\/span>Gwenllian<\/span><\/a> is popular and holds the RHS AGM.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another winter bloomer is Mahonia <\/span>Soft Caress<\/span><\/a> a tough but beautiful grower that won <\/span>Plant of The Year at 2013 Chelsea Flower Show.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also astilbe, nepeta and hardy geraniums<\/a>, but not pelargoniums. Pelargoniums are those frost tender geraniums with thick leaves. They can be toxic so go with hardy <\/span>Geranium sanguineum var. striatum<\/span><\/a> it\u2019s not a catchy name but this pink striped native to the Cumbrian Coast holds the RHS AGM and is dog friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elaeagnus is an evergreen that\u2019ll brighten the garden safely, the <\/span>Limelight<\/span><\/a> cultivar is a variegated stunner. <\/span>Cotoneater<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>Lucidus is\u00a0great for hedging<\/a> and has bright red berries, and speaking of red, the popular<\/span> Photinia Red Robin Compacta\u00a0<\/span><\/a>has bright red leaves and doesn\u2019t get leggy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Create

Create a beautiful and safe garden for your dog by choosing the right plants.<\/p><\/div>\n

Shall we go on?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Why not!<\/span><\/p>\n

Buddleia is dog safe<\/span>.<\/b> Lilac Chip Butterfly Bush<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>is one of the new dwarf hybrids. Fragrant and beautiful <\/span>Abelias such as <\/span>Sunshine Daydream<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is a\u00a0<\/span>variegated evergreen beauty that always<\/span> looks good,\u00a0and let\u2019s not forget the staple backbone shrub Aucuba<\/span> Japonica<\/span>\u00a0<\/b>also known as <\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>Spotted Laurel<\/span><\/a>. <\/b>It holds the RHS AGM and doesn\u2019t bother dogs and is ideal addition when looking to create a dog friendly garden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We stock all of these plus more – and there\u2019s another reason to buy dog-friendly plants from us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dogs are less likely to damage established plants and that\u2019s what we specialise in. Large mature shrubs and perennials can withstand an excited dog digging around the roots and running over them<\/span>. <\/b>Small, tender shrubs might not survive the paws or a cocked leg!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So that\u2019s the planting sorted \u2013 what else can help keep Lassie safe and happy in the garden?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Plants

Dog-safe plants include the Lilac Chip Butterfly Bush, Sunshine Daydream, Spotted Laurel and many more.<\/p><\/div>\n

Secure and Attractive Fencing\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Safe, secure fencing is a must.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Loose dogs cause all sorts of problems with neighbours and in the worst circumstances your dog could be stolen from your garden. This is, unfortunately, becoming more frequent so lock all gates securely and add height so people can\u2019t see over the fence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fast growing shrubs such as this evergreen <\/span>Eleagnus<\/span><\/a> grown over security wire fences and wooden panels green up their harsh look. You could investigate pleached trees<\/a> too if you wanted a full screen on top of your fence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fencing off a specific area for your dog can work well. It\u2019s a smaller area to keep safe and you can include lots of stimulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fences and evergreen privacy screens<\/a> can also be used to protect areas of the garden you\u2019d prefer Rover didn\u2019t go in \u2013 like a veggie patch for example!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Create

Doggie-safe Flowering Beauties!<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>A Digging Area<\/b><\/p>\n

Dogs do love a good old dig. It\u2019s healthy exercise, but that doesn\u2019t mean you want craters across the lawn and in your garden borders.\u00a0<\/span>
\nCover up exposed soil as dogs will always prefer to dig soft earth – your borders are prime digging territory! To distract them create a sandpit <\/span>or loose bark<\/span><\/a> area for digging and then encourage your dog to scrabble about there with buried treats. Keep an eye on puppies who might eat the bark pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Vantage Point<\/b><\/p>\n

Dogs like lots of views \u2013 why not create a mound from soil, or cover an old upturned table or planter in artificial grass to make Rover king of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sun and Rain Proof Shelter\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

All animals seek shelter from sun, rain and wind, so it\u2019s nice to make a spot they can comfortably relax in.\u00a0<\/span>
\nA tree will create instant shade. Try this <\/span>Photinia Red Robin standard tree<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s dog friendly and casts lovely dappled shade. Large shrubs can also provide shade \u2013 any of the above listed shrubs will provide some shelter.<\/span>
\nIn wet, cold weather a kennel, a child\u2019s playhouse, or a Crufts style tunnel will keep your pooch dry and happy. Our <\/span>BBQ Shelter<\/span><\/a> is perfect for re-purposing into a dog shelter. Send us a photo if you do this!<\/span><\/p>\n

Lawns<\/b><\/p>\n

Free ranging dogs and a perfect lawn can\u2019t co-exist, but if you don\u2019t want to fence off a space, sow hardwearing lawn seed and if you spot your dog urinating rinse it down with a watering can to prevent the grass turning yellow.\u00a0<\/span>
\nPick up all messes soon as possible and use a good quality <\/span>dog safe lawn feed<\/span><\/a> during the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Create A Dog Toilet\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Counter intuitive you might say, but build your dog\u2019s toilet area near the house. This is because it gets dark early here in the UK and it\u2019s often wet. The last thing you\u2019ll want to do late at night is walk your dog to the far garden corner for their final pee!\u00a0<\/span>
\nBlock off the toilet area view with evergreen shrubs like <\/span>Spotted Laurel<\/span><\/a> or use <\/span>privacy screen trellis<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> Bark or free draining stones make an easy clean base.<\/span><\/p>\n

Area For Cleaning Muddy Paws<\/b><\/p>\n

Who\u2019s had their muddy dog bolt into the house and destroy the carpet within 30 seconds? I knew it wasn\u2019t just me!\u00a0<\/span>
\nA clean-up area by the back door is a soft furnishings saver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use evergreens or trellis to build a shelter from the elements. Site it near a tap or stash a full <\/span>watering can<\/span><\/a> or a <\/span>pressure sprayer<\/span><\/a> there (be careful not to sting your dog\u2019s feet with too much pressure).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Build a floor area from bark or other soft draining materials to stop mud clinging to your dog\u2019s feet when you add the water. A quick rinse, a towel rub down, and you\u2019re done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Need More Inspiration?<\/b><\/p>\n

Even the smallest outdoor space can be made into a dog friendly area. If you need more inspiration here\u2019s a video of The Dog\u2019s Trust\u2019s <\/span>dog friendly garden<\/span><\/a> from the 2016 Hampton Court Flower Show.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
