Many of our furry friends love to play with plants. They dig up the soil in pots, gardens, and vegetable patches. They also nibble and, sometimes, even eat the whole plant! <br \/>We forgive them, of course, but these actions, as well as being harmful to plants, can also be harmful to our beloved companions. This is because some common house plants are toxic for pets.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t despair if, despite trying, you can\u2019t stop the pets from destroying your plants.

If you have plants indoors, make sure they are out of reach; place them on shelves or bookcases, or try keeping your plants in a room that you can keep closed when you\u2019re out of the house.<\/p>\n<p>Other than building a fence, a good way to keep your pets out of your garden is to plant plants that repel unwanted visitors. Place plants around your garden such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rosemary<\/li>\n<li>Thyme<\/li>\n<li>Lavender<\/li>\n<li>Lemon basil<\/li>\n<li>Lemon balm<\/li>\n<li>Rose bushes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3222b71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3222b71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/atami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pets-and-Plants-Tips-on-how-to-stop-my-dogs-or-cats-destroying-the-plants.-2-768x512.webp\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-191445\" alt=\"Placing a thyme plant, as well as other aromatic herbs, near your plants not only keeps your pets away, but they also deter pests and are perfect for spicing up your culinary recipes.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pets-and-Plants-Tips-on-how-to-stop-my-dogs-or-cats-destroying-the-plants.-2-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/atami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pets-and-Plants-Tips-on-how-to-stop-my-dogs-or-cats-destroying-the-plants.-2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/atami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pets-and-Plants-Tips-on-how-to-stop-my-dogs-or-cats-destroying-the-plants.-2-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/atami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pets-and-Plants-Tips-on-how-to-stop-my-dogs-or-cats-destroying-the-plants.-2-450x300.webp 450w, https:\/\/atami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pets-and-Plants-Tips-on-how-to-stop-my-dogs-or-cats-destroying-the-plants.-2-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/atami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pets-and-Plants-Tips-on-how-to-stop-my-dogs-or-cats-destroying-the-plants.-2.webp 1380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Placing a thyme plant, as well as other aromatic herbs, near your plants not only keeps your pets away, but they also deter pests and are perfect for spicing up your culinary recipes.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc8ae3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cc8ae3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>These plants, as well as repelling your animals because of their intense smell, or because of their thorns, will attract pollinating and other beneficial insects to your vegetable garden. It\u2019s a win-win situation!<\/p>\n<p>Another trick that often works well, especially if our furry friend loves digging in the soil, is to place citrus peelings (e.g., lemons, oranges, grapefruit) on top of the soil. Pets tend to dislike citrus aromas, and this will deter them away from your pots. Indoors, however, you should replace the peels when they lose their smell with new ones. If you use this method in your garden, the chopped citrus peels will eventually decompose and nourish your plants.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to citrus fruits, there are many strong smells that animals, and cats in particular, don\u2019t like. To list a few: coffee, eucalyptus, smell cloves, pepper, vinegar. So, sprinkling ground coffee, placing peppercorns and cloves, or using a mixture of vinegar with eucalyptus essential oil near your plants can be the ultimate remedy to keep animals away from your plants and pots.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Can&#8217;t keep your pets away from your plants? Attract them to others!<\/h2>\n<p>To keep our animals away, you can attract them with something they like, like catnip. Catnip makes cats (and some dogs) crazy. <br \/>However, it can take a while for your pets to be attracted to it again once they have consumed it and the effects have worn off.<\/p>\n<p>Using this plant when they bite or play with your plants can help. This way, they will stop paying attention to your plants because they will find them less attractive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0031fa4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0031fa4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/atami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pets-and-Plants-Tips-on-how-to-stop-my-dogs-or-cats-destroying-the-plants.-3-768x511.webp\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-191460\" alt=\"Catnip is a beautiful plant for your garden that will also help to keep cats and other animals away from other plants by attracting them to it.

But if you let it grow in a small area, it&#8217;ll probably become your dog\u2019s favourite. It&#8217;ll be entertained by the weed, not your beloved rose bushes or tomato plant.<\/p>\n<p>Cats and dogs like to chew plants to &#8216;purify&#8217; themselves. If you don&#8217;t want them to use your plants, you can plant other things they can chew on. You can plant oats, wheat, barley or bird food. This is harmless to dogs and cats.
