While many lawn products are designed to be safe for pets, eating the seed can potentially lead to mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Watch for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or unusual behavior. If your dog experiences any of these, contacting a veterinarian for advice is recommended. In many cases, small amounts might not affect your dog significantly, but caution is always advised. Ensuring your pet has access to fresh water is also important.
