Protect Your Pup from Pesticides
- May 08, 2008
Using fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides to keep your yard green? If so, handle them with care, because many can be toxic to your dog. Applying the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, in particular, four or more times per season has been shown to double a dog's risk of developing lymphoma. To reduce your pet's exposure to these chemicals:
•
Keep all lawn chemicals safely out of reach.
•
Take any food bowls and water dishes inside when applying outdoor chemicals.
•
Avoid overdosing your lawn with products, which can leave behind residue and increase the odds of your dog coming in contact with toxins.
•
Wait until all treatments have dried before allowing your dog back on the lawn.
