That being said, I don't think he would react a week later. Chemical toxicity is usually pretty immediate. |
Thank you for this information! Believe me, I won't forget it.
When I called this lawn service, I asked several times how safe their treatment was for small dogs and was assured it was completely safe as long as I followed their instructions. I even read what they said about it on their website. When I asked how long they needed to be kept off the grass after a treatment, I was told that they could safely return after the grass had been completely dry for one hour. Of course that's what they'd tell me - they wanted my business.
