How do I stop cats and dogs from peeing on my flowers and garden?

Besides the obvious of keeping them away, I can't keep the stray animals away from it at night. We've spent a lot of money getting our yard the way it is and it's all being ruined by the animals. The flowers are dying. Is there anything we can put in the garden that will make dogs and cats not want to pee there?

YES! You can buy a chemical at PetsMart to sray or sprinkle on your yard that actually smells horrible to cats and dogs. I used something called Stay Away a while back.I'm not sure they make that particular product any longer, but you can always ask the sales assoc. @ PetsMart. that's what they are there for! Good Luck, I know it is disappointing to work so hard to get your yard looking nice for some stray to come mess it all up!

I have to agree with girl#2 and guy#4 because of its natural
usage. The onions with do it for sure and the eggshells I too
have heard cats dont like them - good luck and good gardening.

You can put certain kinds of sprays and there is also treats you can give the dogs

Not sure about dogs but for cats go to the local zoo and they will be happy to give you some Lion or other big cats poo, some of this spread around the garden is 100% effective as a feline deterant,and not harmfrull, on the market you can get frequency sound deterrants which can be set for cats, dogs, foxes etc. Good luck.

I heard that if you place moth balls around your garden it will deter most animals from even approaching the garden. But for some reason the smell of moth balls will attract a fox. Go figure.

pour ammonia where you do want them to pee and they will use that spot
