dog friendly slug pellets from a shop?

Does your dog eat slug pellets?

I think he'd need to eat quite a few before doing any serious harm. I'd be more concerned about the effect of the pellets on the local frog/bird population. There are organic pellets available from most garden suppliers.

This is one safe method of controlling slugs: Nemaslug but it may well be too expensive.

Natural Slug control... worth a read perhaps?

Perhaps the easiest & safest way to prevent your dog from chance eating of slug bait (the little blue wonders) is to limit the dog to one patch of space by use of the lead.

On our site dog owners are not allowed to let their dogs off the lead while on site. Seems reasonable to me as they can wander, trample and... do other things on other peoples plots. Just a thought.

Alternatively you could look out for a couple of hundred frogs or toads to do the job for you... 

In an ideal environment this might work but I've seen only one frog on our site in the last 50 years. Foxes often like them as much as we do. 

Agree with @Paul Plots, Nemaslug the only really effective dog-friendly method (although this post from @Grubbypaws suggests they don't always work as well as expected: http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=106895.0). See this previous thread: http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=106755.0 for potential pet worries with so called 'pet-friendly' slug pellets - dogs are specifically mentioned as a worry.
