Although ingesting a little lime powder won't hurt your dog, watering it in would be safer. The pelletized products might be an even better bet: not dust, no tracking in the house. Gail--My Repurposed Life on Mar 15, 2012 Thank you both very much!

If it is the lime you get at a garden store than no, unless the dog inhales it from the bag which would cause lung problems or if the dog has an allergy to it. Many people use lime to sweeten the soil and take out the dog urine odor.

Inhaling the dust can irritate, or even burn, the nose, throat, and lungs. Wet hydrated lime may cause chemical burns with irreversible damage. Ingesting it can burn the mouth, throat, stomach, and...

Yes -- direct contact with lime can cause serious skin irritation -- from dry skin to redness. It is even more serious if it gets into the eyes -- resulting in burms and vision loss. Ingestion can cause vomiting and diarrhea.

Lime pellets are no more toxic to pets than they are to people; however, if your dog plays in the lawn right after the pellets are spread, he will have a higher exposure to them than you would. Lime pellets work to raise the pH of acidic soil because they are highly alkaline -- this means that direct contact between the skin and the pellets can be irritating.

So, while lime likely wont cause your dog to become seriously ill, its not a good idea to spread pellets and then let your dog run free. Lime dust, in any form, may cause lung, skin and eye irritation, and it should be fully integrated into the soil before anyone human or animal should use the lawn.

DO NOT USE HYDRATED LIME, also known as burn lime, quicklime, or calcium oxide. This lime can burn you or your pets. DO USE AGRICULTURAL LIME, also known as dolomite, garden lime, or calcium carbonate. Does lime neutralize dog urine?

Limes are toxic to dogs, and you should never feed a lime or lime juice to your dogs. As a matter of fact, contact with the peel of a lime fruit and the leaves of a lime tree are dangerous to dogs too. For the safety of your dog, you should never allow him to come into contact with any part of a lime tree.
