None of them are really pet friendly. Best thing you can do is to put it down and water it in before letting pets outside.

This is what I do and I do not use fertilizer with weed killer in it...at least, not where my bullies go.

I tagged Jamelyn who helped put her parents or inlaws lawn back into good shape when they moved into their new home. Plus i want some advice too....we had one area for business we'd shovel over the winter and the grass is just plain sad there now.

I signed a contract with a guy to get my yard going this year since I had so much trouble last year with my yard being primarily clay mud. He calls and lets me know when he will be out so I will turn the irrigation system on to wet the fertilizer in and I let chunky on the grass once its dry.

I picked up some epsom salt for paw soaks today. On the bag it says it can be used as fertilizer. Has anyone ever tried it?

Megan = Meg,
Scotts and Golf green ( CIL ) have a grass fertilizer they say is kid and pet friendly , they put a pic of both kids and pets on the bag , you might go to web sites to read up on it to see what you think , they state that it is put it down and play right away your call there . Our grass or lawns are at different levels here ( total lawns app 1 1/2 acres and I am so very careful what goes on them , I have used the Scott product on the lowest tiered lawns as the dogs rarely go down there and it was the pet/kid friendly product . We also have to contend with Ontario Hydro coming thru spraying under there hydro bloody wires like they own the property the poles are on every couple of years , you can request they do not but it seems communication is not a big thing with them so that war continues , they called the OPP on Me once due to there lack of communication issue , was all good The Cop loved Odin , Screw Ontario Hydro ! The stuff they spray kills everything and I mean everything !
