Some houseplants are poison to dogs. How and when is your dog getting into the plants? A 6 month old puppy should not be left unsupervised in the house. You either have to put the plants out of reach of the dog or put the dog out of reach of the plants. When you are there with the puppy and see that she is in the plants, then firmly tell her No! and give her a toy to play with instead. That way she learns that playing with the plants is bad and playing with toys is good.

Dogs usually eat grasas and/or plants when there is something wrong with themphysically!.. With a 6 month old pup this could be the case,or she could be getting even with you for leaving her alone. I suggest moving the plants to a location not accessible by the pup, and have you r pet checked by a vet. Could be a parasite problem.

Have a great day!!

you may purchase a product call "bitter Apple" and spray on the leaves of the plant. Cats hate it. you may also attempt a susceptible answer of water and warm sauce to spray the flowers even though it would not look to very last see you later because the bitter apple. otherwise, merely flow the flowers. They understand they get interest from you at the same time as they chew the flowers, so doing no longer some thing or spraying the cats with water will in reality cause them to proceed their undesirable habit with a view to get your interest.

put them up high enough so he can't get them Then maybe when he matures about 12 to 18 months It will be ok to put them in their right place again and he might have gotten out of the routine of going after them

Just as a temp measure move them where she can't get hold of them.
She'll grow out of it & you'll be able to put them back.
