Triazicide is a pesticide, and while most brief exposures do not lead to severe problems, it's important to monitor your dog for any signs of distress such as vomiting, excessive drooling, or lethargy. Washing your dog’s paws and any areas that might have been in contact with the treated lawn can help minimize any skin exposure. Keep a close eye on your pet, and if you notice any symptoms or are unsure, please consult a veterinarian promptly.
