Pet-Friendly Artificial Grass Options for Your Furry Friends

Maintaining the beauty of your lawn all year round doesn't have to be difficult. Installing Best Quality Artificial Grass is a simple and affordable fix. Although you would believe otherwise, pets and artificial grass go together just fine! In actuality, fake grass for dogs is the best option. It is less dangerous and requires less upkeep than a natural lawn.

Taking care of your yard can seem endless when you have an active pet dog; it can feel like you are running around in circles. Your dog can be the deadliest enemy of your natural garden, causing everything from balding or dry spots from frequent urination to divots and grooves from fidgety paws. This is especially true if your dog enjoys digging or chasing muddy paws around the house during bad weather.

 

Is Synthetic Turf Pet-Friendly?

How switching to fake grass will affect your dog is one of the first things that comes to mind if you own a dog while thinking about installing artificial turf. The simple answer is that, depending on your dog and the type of artificial grass you install, fake turf can be just as safe, hygienic, and comfortable as real grass for the majority of dogs.

Why Pets Love Fake Turf?

If you are a dog owner, fake grass can help simplify your life. But hey, what do you know? It will also be beneficial to your pet! Allow me to explain it to you:

Pristine Paws, Delighted You: Your dog won't get filthy from grass and dirt while they play outside on artificial turf. This implies spending less time cleaning them up after their yard escapades during bath time.

Reduced Tension for Your Dog: Imagine being able to take anxiety-free bathroom breaks! Artificial turf is the answer if you're among those dog owners who are concerned about letting their dog urinate on real grass because it might damage it. No need to worry about destroying the grass-your dog can relieve themselves wherever they please.  Plus, its maintenance is quite easy.

Benefits of Synthetic Turf for Pets

1. Say Goodbye to Discoloured Patches:

Dogs use gardens as their toilets, but sadly, their urine may turn once-luxurious, green spaces into a discoloured, patchy mess that is impossible to restore with regular upkeep. Our large selection of artificial grass is perfect for dogs to relieve themselves without damaging the grass.

If you install artificial grass for dogs appropriately, dog urine can flow away into the soil beneath the turf, and you can eliminate the possibility of damaged areas caused by the plastic fibres. All you have to do to remove any possibility of odours from dog urine on fake grass is to water the lawn frequently. After collecting dog number two as usual, quickly hose down the area to get rid of any last bits of dirt or bacteria. To restore the original appearance of your fake grass, use a soapy water solution to brush away any leftover stains.

2. Easy to Maintain-

Artificial grass is not just great for pets; after the first settling period, you'll only need to brush your lawn a few times each month and remove any leaf litter that accumulates, saving you time and effort on garden upkeep. The artificial grass can be readily spot-cleaned or hosed down to remove stubborn waste, so there's no need to worry about discoloured stains.

3. No More Digging- 

There's no denying that digging can make your dog happy, but it can also be a nuisance for homeowners who are continually filling in dangerous holes or cleaning up dirt from muddy paws. Pet-friendly synthetic grass prevents your dog from digging up half the lawn while you're making a cup of tea.

How to choose the Correct Turf for your Pets?

1. Pile Length and Density- Many fibre length variations are available to suit various uses in your garden, ranging from shorter lengths that are ideal for sports, children's play, and pet use to longer piles that are ideal for grown-up terraces and gardens. Shorter pile lengths require less brushing upkeep and are thought to be more durable than longer piles. In addition to looking more like a natural lawn, denser piles are ideal for pet owners as they can withstand more foot traffic and extended playtime.

2. Shock Pad or Not? - In order to provide an even surface and allow water and waste fluids to drain freely, artificial turf installation is done in multiple layers. In order to ensure enough drainage, a layer of crushed granite stone or limestone chippings will be added during installation once the surface turf is removed. A weed-prevention membrane is then installed to stop unwanted growth from spreading across your gorgeous new fake garden.

Shock pads are impact-absorbing surfaces composed of bonded polyethene pieces that give kids' play spaces an additional layer of support. Thinner versions of shock pads are also used on terraces and roofs to improve drainage.

Although we provide artificial grass that dogs can pee on without any issues provided there is adequate drainage, using a shock pad is typically not advised because the material may absorb urine and begin to smell unless it is routinely hosed down and cleaned.

What to Look for When Buying ake turf for pets?

If your dog will relieve itself on the artificial turf you're installing in your yard, stay away from synthetic grass products with latex backing. These have the potential to hold onto pee, leaving your dog's chosen location stinky for a while. In order for liquids to drain into the sub-base material beneath the grass—which should be a porous material like granite or limestone chippings—the backing must also be permeable.

In terms of enduring the abrasion caused by your dog running around and putting their nails into the grass while they play, shorter pile heights—roughly 1.5 inches or less—tend to be a little more resilient. Additionally, shorter pile heights deter your dog from trying to gnaw and bite at the grass blades.
