You definitely need to think twice (or three times
) before using any chemicals on dogs. Anything chemical on your lawn can stay around and be dangerous to our four legged loves.
There are natural yard products and items for animals that do not contain any harmful chemicals.
flea treats, natural flea control for dogs and cats Deer Repellent and other Natural Animal Repellents from Liquid Fence these are two of the sites and products I have experience with and highly recommend. They have worked very well for my gang.
On the packages of flea/tick preventatives there are so many warnings and if humans are supposed to not touch the stuff and wash thoroughly after handling, imagine what it does to little canine bodies.
it is basically putting poison on them.
JMO, but there are many people to back it up ~ too many who have lost dogs or have disabled/sick dogs because of those types of products.
