BANNED FOR NOT SENDING A GE GIFT! | Yard Work I unfortunately have to use a lawn company for the fertilizing and weed killing in the yard.....they do make pet safe products.....ask the person you are buying it from....don't know where you live....but if you live in a spot where you get snow...they also make pet safe ice melt. |

| Im real picky on what chemicals are used around my home. Everything organtic except Scots Turf. I apply it only at night when I know rain is coming. That way its soaked in by the time they are out. 12 to 24 hours.. |

| I had this same question myself awhile back. My Vet told me she uses the same lawn company I use and what she does for her dogs are if the lawn company says "keep dogs/pets off the lawn for 24 hours" that we should DOUBLE the time off the lawn and make if 48 hours. I've also seen some YT'ers on here that do their own lawn. What I think is one of the greatest ideas was one of them will do the front yard one week and then the back yard the subsequent week. This provides a place for their dogs to go no matter when you fertilize. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | We no longer fertilize the area where I let the dogs go, it's 2 xpens joined together. 2 years ago the guys who mow our lawn fertilized and didn't let us know and Pixie had a reaction to it and ended up in the ER vet's with neurological symptoms. We didn't know at the time what caused it until we got the bill and saw it on there. So be real careful.
