mikeball 108 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 How do you lads keep the slugs down? I find slugs in my dog bowl every morning ive tryed salt this works till it rains. Ive tryed bitter in a coke bottle with the top cut off the dog either nocks it over or drinks it.i have heard the cooper wire is good but also heard that it dont work. Has any one got any ideas lads?

Shazza 52 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Argos, adjustable height feeding bowl stand including 2 metal bowls, about £12, i got one and it's a decent weight so dogs dont knock it over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacksbignose 8 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Buy a duck, they love eating slugs (added bonus, some ducks lay as many eggs as chickens)... break your dog to stock first! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MATTI 34 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 pick the bowl up after your dog has finished,simple A dog need's one meal a day as an adult whatever size or breed,if you feed your dog/dogs on hard ground, once a week swill it with salt water, and if they use bones or chews on the lawn pick them up at the end of the day, when i was a kid nobody thought slugs were a danger to our dogs but take care buddy, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
