How Animal-Friendly Robotic Lawnmowers are Changing the Game

Robotic lawnmowers have become increasingly popular among homeowners by taking over our daily chores and making our life hassle-free. Some robotic mowers bring revolutionary change so we can have the best of both worlds, like a well-maintained green lawn and an animal-friendly garden.

However, concerns have been raised about the impact of automatic mowers on small animals and children.  

How is it animal-friendly?

• Some of the robotic mowers are specially manufactured to be pet-friendly, keeping a few things in mind. One of them is our HYgreen’s smart mower. There is no chance of harm to your children or pets from the blades of the robotic mowers. They will always immediately stop if the mower is hit or picked up and are programmed to maneuver around obstacles, including your family, safely.  
• A Robotic mower makes your yard healthier and safer than traditional commercial lawn care companies. They are battery-powered, meaning no exhaust or spills from fossil fuels. They will decrease your carbon footprint, decrease waterway contamination, and reduce the threat of parvovirus.

HYgreen’s smart mower design reduces the risk of casualties to pets and small animals

Small animals or pets and children have their own needs, like using your gardens as a place to play or run free.

We are concerned about the well-being of wildlife and your loved ones, because of the threat robotic lawnmowers create to them. This is one of the reasons our mower is equipped with a variety of features to help reduce casualties among the animals around you. These features include:

• Disc blades: The bladed disc comes with side shields and the front fence, which is a friendly design for the buyer and small animals.
• Safety distance: Our mower follows a safety distance, which is a particularly large distance between the mowing unit and the outer body to prevent possible injuries that could occur if the mower runs over someone’s feet or small pets, for example. 
• Collision sensors: An aid for front visual with AI technology to help identify boundaries & obstacles. The help of the front bumper with built-in collision sensors for detection of obstacles after engagement for impact reduction, together, they are a better anti-collision system. 

Our smart mower will immediately stop working, and the blades will stop rotating if you touch it from anywhere, lifted or tilted.

You need to follow some helpful tips so that you can enjoy the benefits of the lawnmower and pet safety as well.

• Your beloved pets aren’t always the only animals on your property. While using a lawnmower, it is suggested to use it during the daytime hours to prevent any injuries. Because some animals like hedgehogs are nocturnal animals, they like to wander around in your garden during that time. For doing this, your mower can also rest in its spare time, and on the other hand, it also helps wildlife.
• Also, children or pets should not play unattended in the yard while your mower is mowing.
• Once the garden is mowed or the battery gets low, your mower will return to the charging station. Then you can let your children or pets out for their playtime in the garden when the mower is charging.
• If your pets come and go to your garden anytime, you need to make sure to create enough food sources for them, such as for cats or stray dogs, etc. Just create a place in your lawn by an off-limit setting in your yard so the mower will avoid that section. And your wild or domestic animals can eat their food without any harm. 
• In the mower app, you can create safe zones in your garden. Simply leave a pile of leaves in a selected area, and your mower will avoid the off-limit area. The pile of leaves will attract wildlife like hedgehogs and decrease the chances of them wandering into the path of your mower.
