Can I find a slug/snail repellent/killer that is not poisonous to dogs?

My puppy is really obsessed with Snails and slugs and I am tired of desperately preventing her to eat them. (Also the slugs are eating my strawberries, which is a bit annoying.)


Can I find a snail, slugs repellent/killer that would not harm my dog if he eat the plants or eat a dead slug.





Thanks

There are slug pellets that are animal friendly look for the pet friendly sign on the packaging, although any slug pellet would still make your dog unwell. You can get these pellets from a diy store or garden centre.


You must be on your guard with your puppy all the time and donot let him eat the slugs anyway. Puppies are like babies and need constant watching.


Contain your puppy in a play area in the garden, fence off the area you do not want him to go into get to the slugs.
Just use salt or rock salt. Try sprinkling it around in border pattern to keep slugs/ snails away from the most frequented area.


I have to do this when it rains. Don't have a big problem with dogs eating them, but hate the mess of stepping on them!
A pie tin with beer in it,the snails go in and die
yeas from good garden centres just look on tub it will tell you if it is pet freindley or not i use it because i have cats
why dont you just put salt on them

  1. Try using a Slug Bell it uses pellets but they are not accessible to pets and children cannot see the pellets and pick them up. Also the bells are very attractive and blend in with the garden surroundings. They can be found online.
