How can I get my dog to stop eating dirt out of my containers?
by Yvonne

I use potting mix with fertilizer in it and have a great deal of pots. My dog every day goes from pot to pot eating dirt through out each day. Last year she started having seizures. I don’t know if it was due to eating the dirt. I have used black pepper and cayenne pepper and plastic forks pointed upward in the pots to try to stop her. Any other ideas?

Call your vet first, your dog may be lacking a vitamin they may tell you over the phone or request a visit. Good luck. -

Yes, a trip to the Vet is on order. There may be something lacking in your dog's diet that the dirt is supplementing. That would be a good place to start your investigation. Blood tests can be done to determine if there is anything wrong. -
