I’ve heard of using dog urine to deter rabbits from a flower garden or dog hair but since I have no way of collecting my dogs urine and he doesn’t shed, can I use his droppings to keep rabbits out of my flower gardens?

Can’t say I’ve heard of that one although I know you can buy lion droppings to deter Deer. I have a dog that poops and pees in the garden (we do clean up the poop of course) and we are over run with rabbits so I don’t think it works. Rabbit fencing or netting is the only answer.

No. Try hanging small mesh bags of dog hair or human hair.

no,-
dog feces may harbor disease and toxins that will contaminate your garden vegetables and make tham unsafe to eat.

Plant a few extra flowers for the rabbits. I wouldn’t mess with the dog poo. That’s pretty smelly stuff and will probably kill the flowers too.
