Kerian is eating the leafs and the Jalapeno peppers in our garden should I be worried? Except from John being upset with her.. We also have Habanero peppers. How can we keep her out of them.

Jalapeno peppers aren't toxic or anything, but can cause irritation/indigestion with her tummy, and are hot to a human so I can only imagine a dog- same with habaneros, just a tummy upset and a burning mouth. I'd put a little fence around your garden or some sort of barrier.

x2 on the fence. The dogs here ate most of my tomatos last year....they would actually WAIT for them to ripen, nose them off the plant, and THEN eat them. Ugh.

Although.....our lab used to really like hooter's wing sauce.....so who knows. Maybe it doesn't bother them as much as we think?

We went and put a kennel (six feet tall) that I found off CL around the garden to keep the girls out and also the rest of the wildlife around here. But I agree a simple fence should work.

Thanks for the help. I just went and got some some fencing to try and put around the garden.

She ate two more today a Jalapeno and chili pepper earlier today.. I would think her stomach would be upset but they don't seem to be brothering her go figure.

Blaze wants nothing to do with the garden but Kerian seems to like the plants leafs and peppers.
