How do I stop my dog from eating weeds? My puppy keeps eating weeds and puts several stones in her mouth. Sometimes she goes for hours without spitting them out. Is it unhealthy for her to eat weeds? I can't stop her because my parents keep leaving her out in the garden and there are so many weeds in the garden that she eats any little scraps she can find. I get really concerned when she starts to do choking movements and almost vomits after eating a lot of weeds, leaves, and sticks. Please help? Thanks!

It is not paved or grassy, so Elkie (my puppy) keeps eating the pebbles that make up the ground. She is under strict instruction because we are raising her and giving her back soon to be trained as a guide dog for the vision impaired. I hope this information helps. And I can't change her diet. She's on Advance wet and dry food for large breeds. I'm very sorry to say this, but she's a little bit young and dumb and doesn't learn commands easily.

any Landscaping plants that don't need Mulch to control weeds for Indiana? In live near Indy. I managed to kill most of my English ivy by accident, so I have 20 feet x 2 feet of bare soil to work with. The ivy did a good job at preventing grass and weeds from popping up, but apparently English Ivy is an invasive species in Indiana. I suppose I should find something else. Plus it will take a few years for the few ivy vines to repopulate that large area. Are there any ground covers or plants that may fill this area and not require a bunch of mulch or weeding. Hostas are a possibility, but the dog tends to beat them up. Plox maybe? Flowers? I guess I need to find something thick enought and tall enough to prevent weed growth. Thanks.
