In this excerpt from the RSPCA Knowledgebase, the guidance centres on humane ways to manage digging. Meet daily needs, set up an approved dig zone and protect new plantings. Read the full article: RSPCA - My dog is digging up the garden.

Our take

• Create a designated dig area and reward your dog for using it.
• Reduce boredom digging with enrichment, sniff walks and regular play.
• Limit access to sensitive beds while plants establish.

Turf note

Where digging happens on synthetic grass, repair the patch and refresh odour control: use smellBgone INFILL through the base and smellBgone LIQUID on the surface as part of routine care.
