TruGreen is among the top lawn care brand in the entire USA. It has service centers in every state of the USA. TruGreen promise to provide professional services through their expert analyst and workers in a very guaranteed way. 

They have several programs according to the lawn conditions and need. These programs target the particular lawn problem and treat it accordingly with their fertilizers. Apart from that, they provide services like trees and shrubs, mosquito, aeration, and a few other additional services along with lawn care programs. 

But here, I want to discuss a very less discussed query that hides behind the major walls of all the lawn service brands. It is seen many times that pets get an infection or any side-effect from post-lawn treatment. Here, you will get the details about TruGreen on this concern. 

Is TruGreen safe for pets?

Even after being a top lawn care company, it will be too early to call it safe for animals completely. TruGreen chemicals are not made for pets' purposes they are made to target the direct concern of lawn grass. 

Is TruGreen safe for pets like dogs

This common problem can create trouble for pets. Let's understand it in detail and then we'll see the solution and TruGreen's approach to it. 

What is the concern? 

Even expert companies like TruGreen, use fertilizers and weed-controlling chemicals according to their plans. 

For lawn owners, it becomes a major concern to leave their pets like dogs, cats, and other pets for a walk or running on the freshly treated lawn. At this time, chemicals don't get dry completely, they are easy to smell, pets may lick that, it can hurt their eyes, and most of all sometimes, lawn using chemicals is harmful and can create a death threat for small pets. 

Apart from the direct damage, pets can get allergies, post-side effects, and cough from freshly treated lawn chemicals. 

Let's be so particular about TruGreen and see what they promise in such cases. 

What does TruGreen promise?

It is not mentioned in detail on the TruGreen website that TruGreen promises to not hurt pets. Well, no one wants to hurt pets. You have to be so practical about this. TruGreen workers are very professional about their services in my experience. They give you an instruction guide for post-lawn treatment and pet care.

Basic tips for awareness

I can admit that you are concerned about your pets and how much you care about them. I have some added tips for you in case of an emergency. In freshly treated lawns, chemicals take 2 or 3 days to get dry. It depends on your location and climate. If the weather is rainy or has high humidity, then it may take a couple of more days but in summer and dry conditions, these chemicals get dry faster. 

Till you are not suggested for irrigation, you shouldn't leave your pets on the lawns. After a couple of irrigation, grass absorbs them or gets drained with water. Then you can leave them on the lawns. Even if lawn grass is not established, your pets may get saved but they can hurt the grass with walking traffic. 

Although, you can restrict the lawn-treated area with ribbons if you just have a small area to be treated. If you have a small lawn, then don't let the pets go there at least for one to two weeks if the grass is young. 

TruGreen natural program 'TruNatural'

A basic question is raised in mind do TruGreen only use direct nutrients in chemical forms or do they have any natural way of treating lawns? Don't worry they have. 'TruNatural' program is the way to make your lawn better and less harmful for your pets in the early days.
