The grubs are ripping up the grass ? Usually small animals like skunk rip up the grass to get to the roots where the grubs are. The crows actually eat the grubs too so it's a good thing you have them in your yard at this point.

After you've mowed the lawn, you can over spray the yard with this recipe. Add a mixture of 1/8 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 baby shampoo or Sunlight dish detergent, 1/4 cup mouthwash, and 1/4 cup tobacco juice (let 1 tsp chewing tobacco sit in 1/4 cup water overnight and strain) to a garden hose end sprayer. Fill remainder of sprayer with warm water, attach to hose, shake gently, and spray the lawn down. It's late in the season now but remember to do this each time you mow in the Spring and Summer (as the sun goes down or you may end up burning your grass) to control grubs and insect infestation.

Oh, and don't worry, the dogs won't get sick from the grubs.
