Is Fake Grass Good For Dog Areas?

 Dog Areas and Fake Grass, Is It A Good Choice?

Do you have a dog area at your home or business that you are considering fake grass for? In this article, we review dog areas and whether turf is the right solution for you and your pet. 

Natural Grass

With natural grass, it can be hard to see all the "droppings" of your pet. They don't always just sit on top of the surface to be picked up. Natural grass also requires mowing, watering, and fertilizing, all of which can be harmful to your pet and make them messy. 

Fake Grass

Fake grass is beneficial in many ways. From the elimination of chemicals to the ease of seeing and discarding pet waste, you'll see why fake grass is a great option for your pet. 

Infill Materials

With so many infill options to choose from, many of which provide environmentally-friendly benefits, will help to control the odor of the waste which can be an appealing option for many pet owners.

Cleanliness

Because astro turf makes cleanup a breeze, pickup and hosing down the turf can eliminate odors and health hazards of unattended pet waste. 

By eliminating natural grass and dirt, you no longer have to worry about your pet tracking mud, dirt and other yard debris inside the house. 

Sensitivities

If your pet suffers from grass or pollen allergies, astro turf can be a solid option for your pets sensitivities since it doesn't require mowing, watering, or fertilizing. 

Durability

As with most pets, you will find them digging, running, and scratching from time to time. With proper installation and stretching techniques, your pet is free to do as they please and your turf will stay in great shape.

Chemical-Free

Fake grass does not require the use of fertilizers or chemicals that can be harmful to your pet. By simply removing the debris from your turf will keep it vibrant and weed-free for years to come. 

Comfortability

Astro turf is designed to be comfortable and soft which makes it more comfortable for pets and people to walk around on. 

Low Maintenance

Just like with natural grass, you will need to pick up your pets waste. Fake grass makes it easy to identify those areas and rid them completely of the area. By clearing the turf from droppings, leaves, branches, and any other yard debris, will help keep your pet safe and your turf worry-free. 

As you can see, turf is a great option for pets and owners alike. From its ease of clean-up, low on-going maintenance requirements, health benefits, and its comfortability, you can rest easy knowing that turf was the right choice.
