Default Lasagna Rose Beds?

In article ,
says...
splinters from bark dust into her tiny paws. As a result I have never had to
worry about the effect of the pre-emergent weed killer on them. I guess dogs
have stronger skin or something like that since they don't seem to mind
walking over bark or even hot asphalt at times.


I'll jump right in here with a timely piece of information. I'm a
Certified Veterinary Technician, and this week we treated a cat for
exposure to a weed killer that contained Glyphosate (sp?)

Talk about one SICK cat. She was completely listless, couldn't keep any
food down for a couple of days, which in cats, can be a BIG problem. SO,
I wouldn't recommend putting anything on that a cat could get into
contact with.

Dogs are more resistant, cats are sensitive to EVERYTHING, they can't
even take aspirin. However, I'd still be hesitant to use it if a dog
might get into it.

PS, the cat's fine, went home yesterday after 2 days in the hospital.
