You don't! The ingredients the you listed, cat food and jelly, are going to attract your dogs and the boric acid will probably make them sick. I would go to a Home and Garden store and find an ant killer that is animal friendly and safe. The one I use is safe for kids and dogs, since I have both. There are many out there that contain organic ingredients that will not harm pets. I would not use one that is attractive to your dogs!

You can't lure your pets with a food and expect them not to eat it. Go to the store and buy a box of Grits. Sprinkle it on mounds. Ants eat it, swell up and die. Won't hurt your pets.
