When looking for pet-friendly garden ideas, consider these suggestions to help your pets feel at home in your Sacramento pet backyard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Natural flea repellents. <\/strong>To keep pests from bugging your pets, choose plants like<strong> <\/strong>marigolds, catnip, sage, and rosemary, which naturally repel fleas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A space your pets will really \u201cdig.\u201d <\/strong>What cat or dog can resist the urge to dig? Create a designated space filled with sand and some of your pet\u2019s favorite toys.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The perfect potty spot.<\/strong> Provide a designated area using a well-draining, pet-safe substrate, and encourage your pet to use that spot every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A path for pets.<\/strong> A path \u201cpaved\u201d with pet-safe mulch made from pine or cedar, or pea gravel, will allow your pets to explore your gardens without trampling your perfect impatiens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pet-friendly garden products. <\/strong>Rather than bathe your garden in chemical pesticides, look for pet-friendly products like diatomaceous earth or nematodes. Read labels on fertilizer carefully, and choose natural plant boosters like bone meal, compost, manure, or potash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protect Pets From Plants That Are Off-Limits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heirloom tomatoes might be toxic plants pets should avoid, but they\u2019re delicious and nutritious for people!
