I just learned that a few of my houseplants and garden plants are poisonous to dogs. My dog hasn't eaten anything yet, but she does occasionally eat some grass from the lawn, so I just want to make sure that she never decides to try the other plants.
I would also prefer it if the spray didn't hurt the plants. The poisonous plants are: peace lily, tomato plant, philodendron, aloe, and bird of paradise (and those are just the ones I can identify!). I would also like to eventually get hydrangeas, corn plant, Asian lily, Lily of the valley, and maybe calla lily.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
What is a good product or homemade concoction that I can spray on my plants to prevent my dog from eating them
there is a product made from apples, called bitter Apple or something, its a spray and works well for us
Reply:i dont know if it will hurt your plants but when my dog ate my shoes i sprayed them with hot sauce
Reply:A quart of water, a teaspoon of dishwashing detergent and a teaspoon of powdered cayenne pepper well-blended together and poured into a spray bottle will allegedly work well when applied to plant leaves Adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the mix is optional. All of these are available cheaply from local stores and from your kitchen water tap.
Be sure not to spray it on in direct sunlight, to avoid burning the plants from the water droplets focussing sunlight on the leaves.
You might also consider dripping a little citronella oil and peppermint oil on the soil *around* the plants, not on the plants themselves, or simply hanging the plants from the ceiling so animals can't reach them.
Reply:A little tabasco sauce diluted with a little water does the trick for my dogs! They don't like the stuff!
Reply:Put pepper on them!! Works for mine, she digs in my backyard.
Reply:try bitter apple. Spray it and your dog won't dare, and it is not poisinious to hurt your dog or anything like that
