Dog-Proofing Your Backyard: Supervised Outdoor Play

Do not let your dog outside unsupervised, because there might be times where your gate could be accidentally left open. Install a self-closing gate in your yard and make sure it always works properly, and that there are no gaps or holes. In the outdoors, your small pet could become prey for coyotes or eagles, depending on the area. It is also dangerous to tether your pet outside because of that same reason. The tether line could also get caught, wrapping itself around your pet’s neck.

 

Since dogs like investigating and exploring, offer things that can take your pet’s attention away from your property boundaries by preparing secret sniffing areas and little adventures in your backyard. You can make a sniff area using a small part of a log that decomposes gradually, surround it with safe ornamental grasses. Be sure that your pet always has access to fresh drinking water outdoors and a cool shady area so that his general well-being is not compromised.

 

When selecting plants for your backyard, avoid those that are thorny and toxic. You may want to consult your local plant nursery or read through the plant lists that ASPCA offers.

 

If your pet is showing any signs of illness, make an appointment with your vet clinic Fayetteville, NC
