Lawn care in the fall the last dose of weed and feed is applied to many lawns.
Lawn fertilizer is poison to our pets. We need to keep are dogs off the lawn
for 24 hours. Often your dog will sniff, lick, chew or roll around on your
lawn. If the lawn has been treated keep your dog off. Even semi-toxic
pesticides can be harmful. Residue from the weed kill can transfer on to your
pet and he can lick himself ingesting the pesticide.
This can cause skin irritation. Rinse your dogs’ coat with water. If
he has ingested pesticide you should induce
vomiting.
Studies have linked lawn fertilizer with
cancer. There are safer pet friendly products like corn gluten that can be used
instead.
