Many people ask if Blood, Fish and Bone is safe for cats and dogs. Due to the bonemeal in this product, dogs may be attracted to the areas where it has been applied. Therefore, use should ideally be avoided where dogs and cats have access, or the alternative is to work the Blood, Fish and Bone Fertiliser into the soil after application and cover with a 5cm layer of bark chip, soil improver or similar product to ensure the fertiliser is no longer on top of the ground.

This product should also not be used in areas where cattle, sheep, goats and deer have access due to the animal derivatives that Blood, Fish and Bone Fertiliser contains. Always read the label for clarification.
