DANGEROUS TO DOGS

It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to watch what your puppy or dog is eating when left alone in the garden or around the house. So many things are waiting to make then very ill or kill them.

All evergreen plants in the garden can be toxic to dogs, and usually they will leave them alone, but be careful if you are in the garden cutting back your plants and the dog starts chewing on a recently cut branch.
