Not sure any of these things are really 'animal safe' if you have wildlife like frogs passing through.
I can do without dead toads around the place!
The usual guide is 'Children and pets need not be excluded once the spray has dried'. In other words, when they can't pick it up on their hands or paws and then lick them.I can do without dead toads around the place!

Jeyes Fluid is pet safe.
It’s toxic for cats, or certainly used to be.It depends on the dose/concentration.

Once these things have dried, they stop doing much?
I don't use any additional liquid to be safe, just my Karcher power washer with it's smallest head on the wand, so highest output pressure and just the water cleans the patio. This wand - https://www.kaercher.com/us/accessories/dirtblaste...
Keep the tip close to the patio surface for most effective results. Not my photo, but something like this.

I use white vinegar as a 'spray and leave' thing which kills organic stuff, moss etc within a week and is safe for pets. Albeit it smells a bit for a few days.
Then just jet wash once it's all gone brown to clear the grime. Still looking for a (pet safe and scrubless) solution to clean porcelain slabs though, as neither vinegar and jet washing works on the stains.
Only current option is to keep the cats inside for a day whilst I scrub chemicals in and wash it all off again. Which is what I used to do before the cats arrived.

I do that, in fact I did some patio cleaning today. Takes forever though, and very messy. I noticed that guy has his wellies on, which I might have forgotten...Keep the tip close to the patio surface for most effective results. Not my photo, but something like this.

Chickens are literally the most fragile creatures. They die for fun, honestly! We used Ecover with chickens and never had any problems, so any proper creatures like frogs will be fine I'm sure. I can do without dead toads around the place!
