Will black pepper kill my flowers?

My dog pees on my newly potted plants and they dry up and die. I read that sprinkling black pepper and/or cayenne will keep dogs from digging. Would it keep him from peeing on my potted plants? Will the pepper hurt the flowers?

black pepper isn't as good at repelling as cayenne


it won't stop him from peeing on your plants





pepper won;t hurt the plants, just don't bury them in it.

Reply:I use it all the time to keep rabbits out of my flower beds and garden. I have several different kinds of flowers, bulbs, bushes, hostas, topiary trees, vines and vegetables that I have used it on and I have never noticed any damage to my plants.





However, I live in Ohio and have to water all my plants in the evening and I have found that w/ that much watering, the pepper isn't effective unless I do it almost daily....and I have alot of area to cover! You will probably have much more luck doing it to a potted plant.





My grandmother swears by pepper to keep animals out of her garden and flower beds. I can not say that it will work for dogs, but it won't hurt to try. Good luck!
