Well I am afraid I disagree about the lawn chemicals. We live in Florida and treat our lawn 6 times a year. It is a weed and feed and pesticide. I use a company called Environmental Pest Control and they use the most natural things they can. We keep the dogs off the lawn while it is wet - safe once it is dried, so they assure me. <BR>
<BR>
I also use systemic flea control and heartworm meds. Oh yeah - I vaccinate too! I will never let one of my dogs be plagued by ticks or fleas or heartworm, nor will I let them suffer with lepto or parvo or distemper or any other disease I can prevent. I will never let them lie down in a yard full of fire ants, which Florida is plagued with. We did lose Winnie at 12.5 to lung cancer but I strongly doubt my lawn chemicals caused her demise. I have a 15 year old Basset, a 10 year old, a 3 year old and a 2 year old - all rescues. I gotta be doing something right! <BR>
<BR>
Don't want to start the vaccine debate again but I did want to bring up the fact that responsible pet ownership can go along with having a green, pest-free lawn! <BR><BR>
