home and garden landscapingIs Scotts Turf Builder Starter safe for pets?
Regarding this, how long after fertilizing lawn is it safe for pets?
Pet Safe Lawn Fertilizer Whereas most fertilizers require you to wait 24-48 hours before allowing your pets on the lawn, this product absorbs quickly as soon as it is “safe” as soon as it is watered in.
Subsequently, question is, is lawn fertilizer harmful to dogs?
If your dog eats some grass that had fertilizer applied to it, it rarely leads to serious poisoning; that said, more serious signs can be seen when the product is directly ingested (i.e., right out of the bag). If ingested directly from the bag, the results can include tremors and seizures.
Answer: Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed 3 is safe for pets when it is used according to the product label. Once the treated areas dry completely, chewing or eating grass will not be harmful and your pet can resume normal activity within the area.
