I have had 2 dogs get violently ill from coffee grounds that were in my compost. They lose control of the balance and equlilibrium, it causes them to startle easily, nerve disorientation; it and can result in seizures and death.

And thanks for visiting. Using coffee grounds outside is a fairly common practice. However, caffeine is very bad for dogs. I did work in an animal hospital for a year and I never heard of any dogs coming in sick because of eating coffee fertilizer though. : ) Can you observe your dog to see if he's interested in it the first time you put it outside? If it eats it, not good! Not worth it. Also, your vet would be able to give you the best advice, and he/she may even have some dog/coffee stories for you. I'm really not a dog expert, but I do know that caffeine will make a dog sick. Good question Pickel. And thanks for visiting.

I don't drink as much coffee as Michael. I'm a decaf gal, but I do love it this time of year. Thank you!

Good post; it is very co-bloggy of you. Plus coffee makes such a mess of garbage cans and from what I hear it's bad for most disposals so really composting the grounds or fresh tossing them to the dirt is the best way to go. “Plants crazy love nitrogen” I can’t believe how you talk just like me – it’s so funny.
