Weed Control Safe for Dogs: Let It Dry

Herbicides (weed killers) are safe for dogs once dry. They target plant enzymes, not animal systems.

Key Points

• Selective (e.g., 2,4-D, dicamba): kill broadleaf weeds, spare grass.
• Non-selective (glyphosate/Roundup): kill all green plants.
• Choose based on target.

Dog Safety

1. Apply per label.
2. Keep dogs off until DRY (usually 1–2 hours).
3. No evidence of harm from dried residue.
4. Allergy possible but rare.
