With the current storm activity around I would love to fertilise my grass, but seeing we have a 7 month old dog I’m also concerned he will eat/lick the fertiliser making him sick or it will burn his skin while rolling in the grass.
My question is can you buy a dog friendly fertiliser that also works?
Thanks

Dynamic lifter is natural being manure based.
And my dog loved it. Used to make him crook, but boy oh boy, did he love it ;D. Black land mines for days.

The above is designed for use with fruit trees etc, but works very well on the ol grassy ar$e.
As for killing the dog, you'll know a few days later.

I pick some glandular fertiliser and rush home as by now the lightening is quiet severe with thunder everywhere and just starting to spit lightly. I keep the dog inside while I spread the fertiliser over the grass and then guess what happened.
The Bl##dy storm went around us and only ended up getting a few sprinkles of rain. I would say there would have only been a couple of hundred metres between my light sprinkle and the heavy rain my uncle got in the next suburb.
So the dog slept in the laundry last night and early this morning I was out trying to hose the fertiliser in.

Spread it about the beginning of Spring and my grass has been green ever since. I've had tonnes of comments from passers by about how green my lawn is and how do I get it that way... Ha.
Got it at Bunnings, its organic and its non pelletised, therefore needs very little watering in. Best part about a nice lush lawn is no weeds. Did the nature strip too as had a constant weed issue there.

I put it down late in the afternoon and gave it a good water and all was good to use next morning.
