Fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides can be harmful to pets. Look for organic and pet-safe alternatives to keep your garden healthy and your pets safe.

4. Use Raised Beds or Containers
Raised beds and containers are a great way to keep plants out of reach of curious pets. Plus, they add a stylish touch to your garden!
5. Add Pet-Friendly Features
Incorporate features that your pets will love, like:
-
A small water fountain for drinking and playing
-
Shaded areas for them to relax
-
Pet-safe pathways made of gravel or stone
