The apartment complex that I live in sprayed all of the lawn areas with these tiny little white balls today (about the size of a grain of rice). I'm assuming it's fertilizer?? I'm a little concerned because they are EVERYWHERE and the wind has even blown them up on the sidewalk areas.
I have 3 dogs, so I'm a little bit concerned (especially since Mykelti is only 3 months old and wants to investigate everything she comes across!). Macy and Ranger, my older dogs know the nose up command (it teaches them to walk with their heads held up and no noses down stopping to sniff everything). While I have little concern over the big dogs attempting to lick the stuff on the ground, I also don't want it getting on their paw pads or in their fur and risk them grooming themselves later and ingesting it. I've called the apartment complex and the manager said that it's non-toxic. I also called the landscaping company to double check, but only got their voicemail. Do you guys think I should be worried? I've been carrying the puppy to areas that have less of it around and keeping her on a tight leash so I can make sure she's not trying to ingest anything and I've been checking everyone's paws/fur before they come back inside of the apartment. I just want to make sure we avoid any kind of poisioning issue!
