I read (on here somewhere) about not letting dogs eat horse manure because horse wormers are toxic to dogs.
A number of the horses on the yard where I keep my mare have recently been wormed. I was planning to pick up some manure for the allotment from the yard but then thought of our dog - we do take him to the allotment with us sometimes. Does the wormer biodegrade and become less toxic over time? If so, how long before it's not toxic? Trying to keep the dog away from manure at the allotment isn't really an option as the birds can fling it about so it could end up anywhere.
