Fertilizer and Weed killer
Is professionally-applied weed treatment and fertilizer safe for my dog? My particular brand indicates that it’s safe for children and animals after about an hour—or once it’s dry.

Dear Kelly,
Most lawn products, designed for residential use, do not pose a risk provided they’re used according to label directions. If instructions include allowing the treated area to dry thoroughly before allowing people and pets to return, the directions need to be followed exactly to avoid minor skin or stomach irritation and to prevent the weed killer from being transferred to other, desirable vegetation.
