I'm an animal lover and have 9 cats and 1 dog of my own, but their dogs destroyed all my plants and defecated everywhere. I sprinkled (thickly) cayenne pepper on my plants and mulch. Cayenne pepper is finely-ground red pepper. Animals get a snootful of this hot pepper and sneeze, but it doesn't hurt them. It doesn't hurt your plants either. It also helps repel armadillos. (But not squirrels!) I still use cayenne pepper to keep my cats out of my houseplants.

What if your dog ate one of them? I installed the 12 inch wire fences and the little buggers learned to hop over them. Now I just yell NO a lot. They're 4, 3, & 1 and they are getting the message. Also please go to the ASPCA web site and check out the list of plants that are poisonous to dogs. My pup did survived after eating star gazer lillies but a lot of the other plants got pulled out. Now my dogs are safe in the garden but I'm not sure if the garden is safe with the dogs. Yuk Yuk Oh Lordy, please don’t do the moth balls. What if your dog ate one of them?

I have 10 Min Pins....They haven't been back in any of the flowers outside. I put moth balls around the edges of the plants. So far no dogs and plants are alive. Plus I also heard that moth balls keeps snakes away(that's a plus). This worked for me. I have 10 Min Pins….They haven’t been back in any of the flowers outside.
