| Yorkie health question! It's me again with another ???? I might get annoying asking so many questions but better safe than sorry. We have a medium sized yard, fenced and everything. Well, my problem with it is the grass. Seems like the previous tenant didn't really take care of it - He must have had a big dog probably. A couple of days ago I found mushrooms and they sure didn't look like the ones good for cooking (not that I want to cook any). My concern is with the poisonous plants (like those mushrooms) inside my yard. I saw that pet Smart has this special grass for pets but I guess it is meant for indoor potty training. My question is: Where can I find seeds that grow safe grass for pets? Please, forgive me if it doesn't make too much sense but I don't want my Yorkie suffering or worse because of my ignorance.

| LOL. I doubt anyone finds you annoying. You're wasting money on "special grass." That might be one of those things you grow for cats. Not sure. Our dogs nibble at our grass all the time, and we have about 35 different varieties of grass in our yard (around two acres). My DH complains about that, and our varieties of grass are completely my fault, but they've never made any of our dogs sick. Any sort of fungi is a different question. We have some that grow in our yard. Don't allow your dogs to eat any of it. You don't really need to do anything special. Just don't let your babies out if you can't be there to supervise what they're doing. That isn't specifically because of grass or fungi. Yorkies are small enough that they're "prey" for some predatorial animals. Ours aren't allowed out the door unless we're with them. |
