Default Pesticides are a problem
I lived in Florida for ten years with a dog and we only used pet friendly lawn care products. I plan to move to TV as soon as possible and have two young Cavaliers. I would never expose my little buddies to anything harmful. I use Scotts best Weed and Feed and just keep them off the lawn for a day until its watered in well. We treat for termites annually and just play it by ear on those days like take them for a walk out of the sprayed area for a day. There are alternatives to the unsafe chemicals and a visit to any Lowe's or Home Depot garden center will be a big help to you to chose pet friendly lawn care products.
