Throughout the year, your lawn in Colorado will need different lawn care treatments to stay healthy and beautiful. If you own a pet, you'll want to ensure they remain safe during these applications. The first tip you want to follow is to keep them indoors when professionals are treating your lawn. After they have been applied, you'll also want to wait until the products have dried before you let them back out on your lawn. One of the best tips of all is to communicate with your lawn care providers! You need to inform them you have a pet so they can advise you of the treatments they use and how you can maintain the safety of your furry friends.

Keep your pets indoors during lawn care applications.

The first thing you'll want to do when professionals are applying any type of lawn care treatment is to ensure your pets are indoors. There are various types of treatments they can apply to your property, whether it's fertilizer, weed control, disease or insect control, or something else. So, you'll want to be sure that your pets will not come in contact with the treatment and the ingredients in it during the time of application.

Wait until the lawn care application has dried before letting your pets out on the lawn.

After your lawn care provider has applied their treatment, it's not yet time to open the door and allow your pets to use the grass. It's best to wait until the product has dried before you let your furry friends out. By waiting for the application to dry, you can be sure that your pets will not come into contact with or ingest it.

Depending on the type of treatment and current weather conditions, the waiting time for the product to dry is different. If your lawn care provider used a liquid treatment, you have to ensure that it has dried up completely before your pets can enjoy the lawn like normal. If it's hot and sunny on the day of the application, the product can dry faster. Meanwhile, granular treatments have to be watered in to become activated. The wait will be longer, but it's best to be on the safer side and give it enough time to absorb into your turf to keep your pets safe!

Letting the lawn care product dry will help ensure your grass can absorb it and maximize its benefits.

Always Talk to Your Lawn Care Provider About Pet-Safety Tips With Their Treatments

Another helpful tip that will ensure your pets stay safe during treatments is to talk with your lawn care provider! Never guess when it comes to the health of your pets. It's always best to ask the experts about how to keep them safe because they know about the treatment they are using and will be able to give you recommendations that are specific to the product. What's more, you can ask the team you're working with to let you know when they're scheduled to come over to your property. This way, you can ensure your pets are safe indoors, especially if you're not on your property on the day of application!
