After applying Scott’s Weed and Feed to your lawn, it's safest to wait 24–48 hours before allowing your pet to play on the grass.
- Wait at least 24 hours after application before letting pets outside.
- Water the lawn thoroughly after applying the product to help it settle.
- Keep the product away from pet feeding or watering areas.
- Monitor your pet for any signs of discomfort if exposure occurs.
The main reason for this waiting period is to ensure that the chemicals have been absorbed and the grass is free from surface residue that can transfer onto your pet's skin and paws. This minimizes the risk of your pet ingesting potentially harmful substances if they groom themselves after playing outside.
If you have concerns regarding specific symptoms or behaviors, don't hesitate to book a consultation with one of our vets for personalized advice.
