Pesticides, ultimately, are tools that are used to protect one organism from being preyed upon by another. Before any pesticide can be sold it must be evaluated and approved first by the federal government and then by each individual state. This registration process includes looking at how this product interacts with dogs. No product that shows a clear danger to dog’s health can be successfully registered. Any product used in lawn care has an accompanying label and safety data sheet as documentation stating how the product is to be used as well as the hazards that it poses to people, animals and the environment. Those documents are not mere suggestions; they are the law and must be followed to the letter by the licensed applicators that use them.
