How can I keep the cats and an dog out of my flower beds? the cats love to use the flower beds as their potty. The dog likes to dig himself a cool spot to lay in when the weather is hot.

This question was forwarded to Sandy Mason, our Horticulture Educator at the time that it was received. I trust that she gave you a timely and useful answer. All questions pertaining to plants, shrubs, and trees should be sent to horticulture and not family life for these subjects are their expertise. Thank you for contacting University of Illinois Extension.
