dog eating slugs

[Guest Anonymous]

Ok, this is disgusting... and I am not sure Hazel is actually eating them or just trying to get them out of her dish... but sometimes when I let her in for the morning she has slug slim on her mouth. This stuff is awful to get off, almost as bad as pitch. I have been using butter which seems to do the trick... is there a way to prevent her from eating them? I can't get rid of them as they are everywhere, and slug bait is poisonous and I don't use poison for anything.... too many kids and dogs around.
Anybody have another idea for a deterant?

when i first got one of my puppies he had a spell of eating stones. i would put my finger in his mouth to poke it out. one day to my horror he had a live snail in his mouth. he grew out of it. he is the grand old age of six months. house hold salt works to kill them but once it rains. you need to put more down. :wink: :wink:

ok...here are some safe ways to get rid of slugs...the beer bit that someone mentioned is a good idea....also...try any of these....diotemous earth (can get at any garden store), salt, copper wire.

Good luck.
