The Answer to Your Pet's behavior Problems may be in your Backyard!


The great outdoors can make your pet healthier and happier!

Dog's dig holes, it's just what they do, but there are certain things you can do so your dog digs a hole in a designated area, and not where you just planted $250 worth of plants from Green Thumb. Dogs and cats both need to stretch their legs, so if they're having behavioral problems, it might be from being cooped up in a house all day.

Give your pet a designated play area outside. Remove plants that are toxic to pets such as tiger lilies, rises,ivy and ornamental grass. Instead, use Pyracantha or barberries which are resistant to dogs. Use plastic or rubber edges to outline planting beds, steel ones can cut your pet's paws.

Taking into consideration what materials you use in your backyard can save you money in the long run by avoiding costly emergency vet visits when your pet gets sick after eating something toxic after playing in your yard. Not only can it resolve potential medical risks, but also fix behavioral problems too!
