Do you know how common lawn chemicals could undermine the health of your companion animals? Are you doing everything possible to keep your pets safe? What about your friends and neighbors?

We’re producing an audience-participatory documentary video series on youtube and itunes this summer, to search together for “The Truth About Cats, Dogs, and Lawn Chemicals.” We’re investigating the potential hazards of common lawn chemicals for pets as well as some safer alternatives that can help our furry friends live longer, healthier lives.

We’re already having a lot of fun with this – we’ve gotten many adorable animals to participate. You can watch the first episode here, http://catsdogslawns.org, and subscribe through youtube and itunes. We also want your participation in the form of stories, photos and videos about pets and lawn care. You can call our listener comment line at 206-202-0269. To learn how you can participate, visit the webpage: participate.catsdogslawns.org.
