Summary

Weed killers (herbicides) are chemical products used to control unwanted vegetation that pose real risks to both dogs and cats. Common toxic ingredients include glyphosate, 2,4-D, dicamba, ferrous sulfate, paraquat, and certain fatty acids; pets are typically exposed by walking on treated surfaces and then grooming their paws or fur, or by direct ingestion. Signs of poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, lethargy, skin and mouth irritation or burns, loss of appetite, and in severe cases seizures, respiratory distress, or muscle weakness; long-term glyphosate exposure has also been linked to increased lymphoma risk in dogs.
