Hi all

Little Smudge just loves being out in the garden, and currently we walk him around on a lead to 'you know what'! He is very good on his lead but I can tell sometimes that he would love to have a little run around.

However, I'm a bit worried about some things in the garden. It is mostly grass (which he keeps chewing up! - does it hurt if he swallows any by mistake? - I keep having to take it out of his mouth!) but we also have some trees which have some berries on them which are within his reach. My brother told me that one of these had berries on that were poisonous to humans so I guess the same for dogs? Though of course they're all right for the birds.

I have no idea what these are and as we are renting our home, I am unable to remove such things without prior permission.

Your advice on this and other potential dangers in the garden would be much appreciated.

All the best,
Nicola.

Danger In The Garden

Hi there

Thank you for your prompt response - and the link, which is very helpful.

I'm glad that the grass is ok.......perhaps we can sell the lawnmower now?!

All the best,
Nicola.
