When getting a new dog there are many factors to consider. What is the best way to potty train, should I take up all my carpets, how did my house get so much dog hair in it? Lastly, How can I make my backyard pet-friendly? Will they get out from under my gate? These are all valid and reasonable questions. Luckily, we will go over some tips and tricks for making your backyard pet-friendly. 

  1. Make sure all plants are pet-safe!

If you’re a gardener and love to curate beautiful landscapes for your home. Make sure the flowers and grass you’re planting are safe. Here are some flowers that are toxic to dogs. 

  • Aloe Vera: causes an upset stomach.
  • Amaryllis: causes an upset stomach, vomiting and tremors
  • Azalea: excessive salivation. Vomiting, comas, heart failure and weakness
  • Calla Lilly: These are extremely deadly to cats and dogs, stray away from these flowers.

Also, recognize if your pet has skin irritation, they may be allergic to the grass you have in your backyard. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Take your pet to the vet to get them allergy tested or change their food to help with a healthier coat and skin. 

  • Create a secure space for your dog to run and play in

It’s always a small fear that your puppy could sneak out of your yard under your fence. Best Fence & Rail specializes in puppy picket fences! These fences are aluminum with extra narrow vertical bars at the bottom to ensure your dog does not escape. We have three beautiful colors of aluminum fences to fit anyone’s style preferences.
