        Something seems to be eating at the leaves. What could it be and what is suggested I use to get rid of it? I have 2 dogs so I prefer a safe solution.

        without a photo it's hard to tell, but I would bet on catapillers or leaf cutting ants, probably cat'apillers. spray with "thuricide " it will kill the catapillers but not harm the dogs or affect the fruit from human consumption.If it's ants, how to kill them is your choice

        Nona is right; the culprits could be a variety of things. Seeing the actual damage through a photo can help identify the munchers.

        It must be Hungry Caterpillar or Snails; you could put eggshells into the pot around the leaves. May be this will help you.
