What is a good kind of weed killer I can use on my lawn that wont hurt my dog2007-11-25 2:52:24Answers:

Any kind is fine. The caveat is you really shouldn't let your dog on it until after a good soaking rain. I have Bloodhounds which are extremely sensitive to chemicals. I don't use them. They also tend to be grazers.

Martha Stewart would not be amused..

Weed killer is serious stuff.. The best thing is to keep your dog out of the area until the chemicals have dissipated into the soil.

I have a whippet and i used the weed and feed granules. It has never seemed to harm him.

Some folks swear by Borax Powder

Spot the weed with Borax Powder

and Borax is made out of naturally occuring stuff.. so it isn't bad for the environment or our water supply

I just asked this question!

Put Vinegar (I used Red Wine) and salt on the weeds - Works great!

Go to a pet store and they have a good variety of products that you can use to treat your lawn and keeps your pooch safe, and they don't harm the water supply either

There are no "good kinds" of weed killers for animals.

Generally speaking animals will not eat or graze on treated fields because of the smell (these smells dissipate over time usually in a week depending on rain, soil etc.)

What I do with my Labrador is supervise his activities for a couple days. As you know Dogs see their world through their nose. Dogs with their hyper sense of smell will pick up the change immediately and investigate. That's when I reinforce "NO, do not eat" with a treat and a pat on the head and play time. He associates that smell as BAD. He remembers for the next time although I still reinforce. Works great.
