I mainly use bonemeal in the bottom of the hole when planting plants, so that it is under a few inches of soil. Occasionally I've scattered it on the surface for my bamboo. My garden is visited by foxes practically every night, but I have had no problem with them digging stuff up.

Puzzling soil test result

Several years ago now, I dug a couple of handfulls into the soil
before planting and for the next couple of weeks they were digging
there every night.
