What is the best weed and feed when you have dogs?

Wondering what the best weed and feed is when you have dogs? In most cases, it’s actually better to avoid weed and feed products altogether. The timing for fertilizing and weed control rarely matches up, so separating the two usually gives better results. A safer, more effective approach is spot treating weeds and then focusing on rebuilding your lawn with aeration, overseeding or re-sodding, fertilization, and proper watering. Always check product labels when using weed sprays around pets—most are safe once dry, but timing matters. Long term, a targeted lawn care plan will give you thicker, healthier grass than any all-in-one weed and feed product.
