Herbicides are chemicals that are used to eliminate or harm unwanted plants and weeds. Dogs and cats can safely use most herbicides, although some can be toxic if ingested in large amounts. Long-term health consequences from herbicide exposure can also include DNA mutations and abnormalities.

Herbicide-related chronic illness can be challenging to diagnose and may be linked to a history of herbicide use near water sources, animal feed, manufacturing facilities, or storage facilities.

Safe Use Around Animals:

Follow label instructions: Always follow the advised application rates and waiting times before letting animals graze in treated areas.
Choose a suitable herbicide: Select an appropriate herbicide for the target weed that will not harm the nearby plants or wildlife.
Targeted application: When feasible, apply herbicides only to undesirable plants to reduce exposure to beneficial vegetation.

Some common herbicides include:

Phenoxyacetic and phenoxy butyric compounds
Benzoic acid herbicides
Bipyridyl compounds
Other herbicides include glyphosate, atrazine, linuron, paraquat, and silvex.
