But they may walk, sniff and lick it every day!
Many councils still use pesticides in parks, pavements and public green spaces. The most commonly used is glyphosate which has been linked to certain cancers in dogs. Exposure for dogs can happen every day. They walk on treated grass, sniff sprayed areas and lick their paws. Rain can also wash residues into puddles and onto muddy ground where dogs love to explore. We believe our parks should be safe for children, dogs and all wildlife. It is time that all councils moved towards a pesticide free alternative!
