5 pet-friendly lawn tips
Grow non-toxic plants
No one wants their dog to eat the backyard greenery, but it happens. Marigold, sunflower, snapdragon, zinnia, and sage are some common pet-friendly plant options.

Keep it cool
Most dogs love hanging in the yard, but it can get really hot out there. Add shade with trees or shade structures. And keep water accessible with an outdoor water bowl.
Flush the yellow spots
Using a hose or watering can wash out your pet's urine to reduce damage to your grass. The sooner you can do this, the better!
Our unique Pet Patch Lawn Treatment for pet spots can also help. It repairs those urine spots using non-ionic surfactants to condition soil and nutrients to revive grass.
Repair the damage
In warm-season lawns, grass may fill in dead or dying yellow spots on its own. For severely damaged areas, resodding may be needed.
Bare Repair is the easiest way to repair pet damage for any cool-season lawn— just shake on and water in! When damage is severe, reseed your cool-season lawn in early spring or fall.
Sunday product picks
Keep the lawn long
Longer grass is stronger and more resilient. Plus, it will help hide and blend in any discolored spots while they heal. Set your mower to the highest setting or check out our mowing height chart below!
