SAFE WEED CONTOL & Dogs??

19 14:23:57

Question
Hi,
I live on the East Coast. Can you suggest to me what option(s) I have when it comes to a Safe (store bought product or a home-made solution) to killing weeds, YET not being worried about this METHOD harming my Pets, (dogs) that roam this same area?
If you can not answer this for me, could you direct me to another source for this kind of "help" that I need?

Thanks!

Answer
I am not sure there is any completely safe weed killer for dogs.  Most of the commercial ones warn not to let pets on the grass for a few days.  That may be overly cautious.  I do not use any weed killer in the fenced part of the back yard, or where I sometimes tether the dogs out front.  I rely on hand pulling the weeds in those areas.  It can be very effective in small areas.  

I am not sure where to send you for a better answer.
