• Make sure pets are out of the immediate vacinity of the area where you’re about to use a leaf blower or mower, and keep pets off riding mowers!
• Clear the area of dog toys, leashes, bowls and other non-pet-related debris (like sticks, stones and pine cones) to protect the animals, humans and your lawn equipment.
• Don’t forget that clearing the yard of leaves the “old fashioned way” with a rake can be a fun family activity that gets everyone moving.
