Will bone meal harm my dogs

Question

Bone meal was recommended to get rid of ground squirrels, but I have 2 small dogs.

Answer 1

Many people treat garden areas with predator urea or blood meal (rather than bone meal) to rid them of rodents. While bone meal does not pose a significant toxicity concern, it can result in gastrointestinal irritation and increases your pet's risk of pancreatitis.
