Pesticides & Dogs: How to Use TruGreen Safely Around Pets.
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so the other day I was looking at my lawn, and it was looking kinda sad. You know, patchy, some weeds… the usual. My neighbor, though? His lawn is like a golf course. Always perfect. So, I finally asked him what his secret was, and he said TruGreen. I’d heard of them, but I always thought it was kinda pricey and, well, I was worried about the chemicals. Especially since we have a dog, Buster, a super curious golden retriever who loves to sniff EVERYTHING.

So, before I even called TruGreen, I did some digging. I wanted to know what they actually use and if it was safe for Buster. I spent a good few hours online, reading reviews and trying to decipher all the chemical names. It was overwhelming, honestly!

My Research Process

  • First, I checked out the TruGreen website. I’m trying to find information, I need to make sure it’s reliable.
  • Then, I Googled “TruGreen pesticides and dogs.” I find lots of forum posts, some horror stories, some people saying it was fine. It was hard to know what to believe.
  • I also looked for any official-looking websites, like the EPA or something, but most of that stuff was way over my head.

After all the reading, I decided to just call TruGreen directly. I figured I’d ask them straight up about their products and pet safety. The guy on the phone was pretty helpful. He said they use products that are generally safe for pets once they’re dry. That was the key phrase: “once they’re dry.”

He explained that they recommend keeping pets (and people) off the lawn until the application is completely dry, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the weather. He also said they could tell me exactly what products they were using on my lawn, so I could look them up myself if I wanted to.

So, I decided to give it a shot. I booked an appointment, and when the technician came, I made sure to ask him again about the drying time. He confirmed what the phone guy said and even pointed out the areas where he applied a bit more, saying those might take a little longer to dry.

We kept Buster inside for the rest of the day, just to be extra careful. The next morning, the lawn looked noticeably better, and Buster was back to his usual sniffing self, with no problems at all.

It’s been a few weeks now, and the lawn still looks great. Buster’s fine, and I’m happy. I guess the key takeaway is to do your research, ask questions, and, most importantly, make sure that stuff is dry before letting your furry friends back on the grass!
