The small amount of Sevin that I use to dust the stem base is tiny. Sevin at vegetable garden strength should not harm dogs unless large amounts are consumed which is not possible in the tiny amount needed to dust a stem base. I have seven dogs who are constantly slipping under the electric fence to roam the garden and never had a problem; but that decision is totally up to you. I was just letting fellow Tomatoville readers know of a method that works in stopping SVBs with a very small amount of Sevin. After 30 plus years of watching them destroy my squash every year I found a simple solution that actually works unlike the other methods I have tried.
