|   Grass 
  Thank you. I always take my dog on a short leash and try and stop him licking grass etc., but the communities I walk him in do not tell me when they are adding toxins to the grass. I always also  try and wash his feet after a walk. He never goes out the door alone.  The vet seemed surprised that my dog could get enough grass toxin to make him sick, and I must say I though that the minor exposure my dog got would not be harmful. But after this event, I could not see what else could have made him sick. He often will only poop if I take him onto grass, otherwise I keep to a relatively clean concrete path.
 I only thought the grass toxins may be an issue when I saw a gardener spreading fertilizer granules, and also heard of another dog that had recently got sick for a day after walking in the park.
 I wondered if others had similar experiences and thank you for your helpful input.  It seems our small furbabes are very sensitive to small amounts of toxic chemicals. I sure will be much more careful from now on. Again, thank you  for your input.  I also thought I might not be alone in having the grass issue and it might help others to raise the point.
