Pet-friendly plants, vegetable garden and garden

First and foremost, the well-being of our pet

We pet owners all have a common interest: the well-being of our pet. Let's face it, even before our pet arrives at home, we have already bought: the healthiest food, the tastiest snack, the most beautiful accessory and the most comfortable kennel, and all because we care about our pet's happiness.

In spite of all the money spent, we forget that our pet will not pay attention to our purchases. The first thing he will notice is 'only' the environment around him, which is why we will explain how to make plant, vegetable and garden treatments pet friendly.

Animal welfare comes from the environment

Let us try to imagine the first moment when we enter the house with our new friend. While we go crazy with joy showing him everything we have bought him, our pet will have scanned every inch of the house, using only his sense organs. Our pet will be overwhelmed by the scent of the aromatic plants, the rainbow of cut flowers that we have carefully arranged in the vase, the smell coming from the garden and the light that our ornamental plants bring to its surroundings. All this our pet will translate into one word: home.

Now that we know what is the first thing that will catch our pet's attention, let us see how to get pet-friendly plants for our vegetable garden and garden.

Common plant, vegetable and garden treatments

"Man, as an animal species, cannot attribute to himself the right to exterminate other animals or to exploit them by violating this right. He has a duty to put his knowledge at the service of animals; every animal has a right to human consideration, care and protection."

Declaration of the Rights of the Animal - 15 October 1978 - UNESCO, Paris

Some 40 years have passed since this declaration, and today we are realising even more how important it is to become aware of man's responsibility towards every living thing (including plants), starting with the private sphere.

On a cyclical basis, we carry out interventions to improve the health of our plants or our garden (sometimes both) and these have an impact not only on our pets, but also on the environment and our own health.

Common agricultural products on the market are pesticides (such as insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc.) and fertilisers containing chemical agents. These products can cause poisoning, irritation and other persistent symptoms in our animals.

Among the most used:

Plant and rose products with disulfoton (think that a single teaspoon of the product diluted to 1% could kill a medium-sized dog!) or other organophosphates (which cause serious symptoms in animals if not treated in time)
Iron products that may cause toxicity
Blood meal fertilisers (based on animal blood) with a high nitrogen content that may cause pancreatitis, some of which may also have iron added and thus cause toxicity
Bone meal-based fertilisers (containing pulverised bones) that when ingested by our animal behave like cement

Common treatments present us with a choice, plant health or the health of our animals?

So what is the fertiliser that makes plants and animals happy?

In recent years, thanks to the Coronavirus, it is estimated that about 39.5% of the Italian population has adopted at least one pet, and have therefore chosen to share their habitat with another living being of a different species. This statistic opens our eyes to the need to make the environment in which our animal spends most of its time, be it home or garden, pet friendly.

Treatments with BioAksxter® depolluting fertiliser will not only provide nutrients, but will also provide energy for all vital processes in your soil and plants, making your garden and vegetable garden spaces healthy for your animals as well, especially from the point of view of contact and inhalation.

The product formulation, which is entirely biocentric, places man among the elements of the universe and therefore obliged to respect all other forms of life and to live in harmony with animals and plants.

Animals and therefore also your pets will know the difference between an environment treated with BioAksxter® and one treated with common products, because they will feel the benefit of a de-polluted environment right from the start.
