Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| We have a decent fenced in yard, the pups love the run but also seem to like to chew everything?
Has any run across problems with eating pine cones? mulch? I have already looked into bushes, plants that they can not eat. They seem to love to dig up roots of the trees. Here in NC the roots will grow close to top due to the soil being clay.
I want to give them the freedom of running the yard but I worry about everything they eat. |

| If you've checked out all the plants you should be fine there. Watch the mulch as many of them use cocoa - the source of chocolate and is poisonous ... however coco coir fiber is safe.
Long ago I lived in Houston and the apartment complex had pine trees all around. I had a black lab who was always carrying a pine cone around with her and from time to time she'd take a break and chew on the thing. The only problem I noticed was that if she had a 'fresh' pine cone she might get some pine gum on the fur around her muzzle. I did a quick look on the web and "it" says that some dogs may get an upset stomach from the gum and the points on the pine cone might scratch mouth / tongue / gullet but nothing I saw indicated any serious issues.
Obviously '...cides' (pesticide, rodenticide, etc) can be problematic. Some can cause sickness (and death) others can cause allergic reactions, non-fatal just irritating. _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford |

| Thank you on the heads up on the mulch, I will definitely watch for that when we get more mulch. I have not noticed sap on pine cones but I will look.
It seems only one of the dogs seems to have a sensitive stomach and he is usually looking to eat everything. My daughter and he will move to a new place this weekend, and she has no landscaping for him to munch on. thank goodness. |
