For the wild animals, you might keep them out most of the growing season
by planting a row of extremely hot peppers around the edge of your
garden. Note that then they get hungry enough, they'll work out a way
past that row, though.

You'll need a gate blocking each gap in the row.

Slugs are small enough to crawl past the pepper plants without noticing
them, so this is unlikely to do much about them.
