Is Round up or other weed killer and black berry bush killer safe with pets?

Read the labels and warnings. But, I have to tell ya.......I don't allow any of that stuff near Bogart.
Maybe there are more natural ways of killing off weeds and things......I just know dogs will find these things and even if nothing happens to them immediately, the long term effects might be bad for their health.

No, I don't think that they are...but if you keep the dogs off of the area for a week or so it should be okay...most landscapers will say that it is not harmful to pets, but I would not trust it...besides if your pet eats grass and plants there is even more risk.
