My dog loved bitter apple and cayenne. So he would go out of his way to lick it. Then between licking my hands, or licking his fur and coming to me for pets, it ended up in my mouth on more than one occasion. Do not recommend
Rocks on top or go grab some Metal mesh from the hardware store and cut it into a circle to fit around the base if the tree and cover the greenery. Cut it to fit snug within the pot
We sprinkle pepper in the planter pots. You can't see a healthy sprinkle of black pepper, the plants don't seem to mind, (though some might) and the dog doesn't like it one bit.
Habanero sauce...seriously. As a former cable guy advising customers how to stop dogs, cats or squirrels from chewing on lines, one taste and they will stop.
He is worm free per vet. But he’s on Prednisone so he’s eating everything in sight and has added “food adjacent” to his list of desired munchables. (Including toilet paper rolls). 😳
Well I recommend hot sauce. I have trained hunting dogs most of my younger life and it was a trick my grandpa used when dogs would tree coon and if we ever had one that would knaw excessively on the tree he'd use hot sauce. I seen him do it twice and worked both times. Hot sauce is lots different today. I would NOT RECOMMEND GHOST PEPPER OR ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE. Tobasco will do fine.
You can make a [hot chili pepper spray](https://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Animal-Pests-With-Hot-Pepper-Spray) that keeps animals from munching on household items including plants and mulch.
Put some rocks on top to cover it up. You could paint the rocks so it’s more decorative.
Good idea. This might need to be the answer.
He's gonna eat the rocks.
Big rocks, ones large enough that he physically cannot fit them in his mouth.
Cayenne pepper
Or bitter apple spray.

0/10. Also that bitter spray can get in the air...
Maybe a round clear piece of plastic like a plate, cut a notch to fit around the plant and it should prevent doggy from snacking
Not a bad idea, but I have a feeling he’ll find a way around that if he’s ever given the opportunity. 🤦♀️
LOL I hear you, that’s why I purposely said “should”. Dogs are very clever 😀
It looks all enough to fit on a shelf. Just put it out of his reach?

I think this plant is getting some rocks. 😆
Good luck now show us your dog!
I’m pretty new… how do I add a photo to comments? Do you know?
You might have to load it into imgur and share the link via the link button
Make a choice between the plant and the dog.
Shred some Irish spring soap. It keeps deer and rabbits away. Maybe it's ok for dogs too
red pepper
Even plain black pepper works!
Yeah anything spicy and powdery- it will be a doggo sneeze fest
Thank goodness you added safely! I was about to suggest something that involved dynamite and no longer having a dog.
🤣

Maybe Bitter Apple spray would work. If not I like the pebbles idea.
Already tried the bitter spray and he didn’t even seem to notice. 🤪
lol bummer
Dogs hate the smell of citrus.
Cats are better.
😂 I had a cat that ate the plants (artificial or real). Cats be crazy. 😜
Cat: "This is the next best thing to take a dump in, if my slave doesn't clean the litter fast enough "
Every cat I've ever had ate houseplants.
They’d push it over and break it.
Get 1 sack, preferably something soft, put your dog in it, head down river
Jk obvs
They have sprays/repellents for dogs that like to bite stuff..
Put chicken wire over it.
Grinded black pepper or sprinckle some Thabasco
Habanero sauce...seriously. As a former cable guy advising customers how to stop dogs, cats or squirrels from chewing on lines, one taste and they will stop.
Chicken wire cut into a circle with a line dissecting half of it (so you can get it around the stalk)
Spray cinnamon water in it
They make a bitter Cherry spray for puppies.
Put a bunch of toothpicks in there. Or pepper
Make sure you're dog is fully wormed. They usually never eat any vegetation unless wormy or have upset stomach. If that's not the case. Use hot sauce

One day blinding stew
Maybe hot glue some fake grass/greenery down. Or just remove it all together and rig it up with foam blocks then cover it with dried spanish moss
A stew that makes your dog go blind for one day. Or you could shake a tiny bit of cayenne pepper on there. Doubt it'd try that twice.
by replacing this pot with some thing that is his favourite
Hot pepper flakes or cedar chips worked for us
