trigger2 3,100 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 does anyone know how i can stop slugs from getting into my dogs food bowl? i was talking to a old gardner the other day and he reckons that slugs cant get over sand (is this true?) so i was thinking of putting a tray of sand down then putting my dogs food bowl in that. its a pain in the arse washing his bowl out all the time. its just not that, i believe slugs can cause lung worm.

Tiny 7 1,694 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 If i use a bowl (Normal just chuck the meat too them too eat), I just pick the food bowls up just after they've finished which is normally seconds with my lot, Cause as you say i can always see slug trails in them when left and hate the thought of lung worm ect, But i still find a few every now and a again in the water bowl.. I was thinking about doing some sort of free standing stand type thing that they cant crawl up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redtailhawk1 84 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 is it a pain in the arse to walk him and give him fresh water daily aswell??? Always get one!!!!!!!!!! You dont think the slugs can get in the bowel after it has been changed???? Or don't you make sure your dog has access to water all the time. I get the same problem. I scatter salt around it every now and then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MoChara 1,600 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Salt is the answer for me - theres a topic in the terrier section about slugs in dogs kennel, but lots of posts to say how they prevent it. Ive noticed alot more slugs this year for some reason, as have many. At first i was worried about the dogs licking the salt but they never did, so i would put a ring of salt around the bottom of their water bowl. I wash their food and water dishes out everyday and change their water three times daily, (if they havnt drank it). As ive previously stated - they just sizzle away to nothing when doused in salt Edited August 25, 2012 by MoChara 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
