Is Liquid Fence safe for dogs if they accidentally lick or walk on it?

I recently sprayed Liquid Fence in the garden to keep deer away, and I noticed my dog sniffing around the treated areas this morning. I'm a bit worried if it's harmful if he accidentally licks or walks over these spots. Could this product cause any issues for dogs, or is it generally safe around pets?

Answer

Liquid Fence is generally considered safe for pets once it has dried, but ingestion of the product directly may cause mild irritation or an upset stomach in dogs.

  • Mild gastrointestinal upset - vomiting or diarrhea
  • Possible skin irritation if your dog contacts the treated areas before they dry
  • If symptoms persist, it may indicate a more serious issue

When a dog sniffs or licks areas treated with Liquid Fence before it has completely dried, it may experience mild gastrointestinal upset. To reduce the risk, keep pets away from treated areas until they are fully dry. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult your veterinarian if your pet shows any adverse symptoms.
