Dogs and Tomato Hornworms

snappybob · May 23, 2006

I just read an article in Mother Earth News about someone out in their garden picking Hornworms off of their plants when their dogs came nosing around to see what was going on. They decided to feed a few of the worms to the dogs as treats to see if they would eat them. The dogs loved them and now the dogs regularly go through the garden looking for and finding all the hornworms that they can for snacks. If I ever have a hornworm problem with my tomatoes I think I'll give that a try. My dogs will try anything that has the word "treat" attached to it.
