PLEDGE YOUR LAWN TO
THE SAFELAWN MILLION ACRE CHALLENGE!

“I’ve seen over the years the potential dangers that lawn chemicals pose to pets. A study in the 2004 Journal of the American Veterinary Medicine Association, for example, concluded that certain breeds of dogs are four to seven times more likely to contract bladder cancer when exposed to chemically treated lawns. You have to be incredibly careful when applying chemicals to your lawn, and the only way I’ve found to protect pets completely is by switching to organic products which can be ingested, rolled in, and tracked around safely.”

–Paul Tukey, Founder of SafeLawns.org
