Creating a dog friendly oasis

This summer, ditch the park and turn your garden into a tail-wagging wonderland for your furry best friend! Imagine lazy afternoons under a shade sail, splashing in a doggy pool, or evenings spent chilling together. With a few simple tweaks, your outdoor space can become a haven for both you and your pup, the ultimate spot for summertime fun.

  • Safe plants: Swap lilies for lavender! Many common plants are toxic to dogs. Choose safe options like roses, sunflowers or herbs.
  • Potted playgrounds: Keep curious paws off your prize plants by planting them in pots. They're great for colourful displays too!
  • Sniffing adventures: Stimulate your dog with different textures like grass, slabs and mulch. Add scented herbs for extra fun.
  • Playful paradise: Dedicate a space for toys, climbing structures (tunnels!), and a digging pit with mulch. Don't forget shade and a water bowl to keep your pup cool and hydrated!
  • Natural pest control: Ditch chemicals or use organic sprays from Neudorff to control pests! Use crushed eggshells, citrus traps, or soapy water on aphids. Consider companion planting with pet-friendly herbs.
  • Fort Knox for canines: Ensure secure fencing (at least 6ft for jumpers!), with no gaps for escape artists. Block potential digging areas with paths. Lock gates and sheds!
