charbess Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Cooper has dug herself a nice trench under a tree and enjoys laying in it on hot days. She is on Heartgard and Seresto but do these protect against whatever little buggers that could be lurking in the soil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DogNewbie Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm not sure, maybe ask your vet? Wiley does this all the time. I think it is cooler for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Might depend on where you live, but probably she will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatricksMom Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Mine do it, since they're in a fenced yard (no other dogs) I don't worry about it. Not that I could stop Leo if I did. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019). Godspeed Patrick (28 April 1999 - 5 August 2012), Murphy (23 June 2004 - 27 July 2013), Leo (1 May 2009 - 27 January 2020), and Henry (10 August 2010 - 7 August 2020), you were loved more than you can know.

Hubcitypam Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'd say there's more chance of cooties in the grass than the dirt. My Bella had a dugout under the trumpet vine that she loved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FordRacingRon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 My dog has been trenching the yard for 9 years and at 12 still works on her dig. No problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Gosh, pretty much any dog will dig a hole and lay in it, given the opportunity, and this has been the way since dogs started living in our back yards! Unless you know you have some sort of horrible parasite living in your dirt, I agree--don't worry about it! Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.
