Trying to keep a garden looking lush green and healthy is a huge challenge for pet owners who battle muddy paws, stain patches on lawns, digging damage and the dangers faced by animals from grass preserving pesticides. Time outside for our pets is important and we want to provide a friendly and safe environment for them to run, roll, play and go to the bathroom without stress to you or them. As most dog owners know, however, our furry, four-legged friends do not share our concerns when it comes to preserving the look of our lawns or our personal enjoyment of outdoor spaces at home.

Dogs, in particular, can cause irreversible damage to natural lawns – with unsightly burn stains from urine in dry weather and torn-grass mud baths during the rainy seasons. Reseeding and fertilizing to repair lawn damage is a thankless and potentially harmful pursuit for pet owners, as trying to exclude those curious and excitable paws and noses from re-planted seed areas and toxic chemicals is near impossible. Pets also have a habit of transporting lots of mud on their paws and fur and can end up creating mess and damage inside the home.

The many benefits of synthetic turf for pets.

Artificial grass offers the perfect solution for pet owners who don’t want to compromise between a great looking lawn and a happy outdoor-loving animal. Advances in fake grass technology provide our customers with a great choice of incredibly realistic looking lawns that feel great too. Our extensive range offers affordable solutions with excellent service and product guarantees.

One of the greatest advantages of our Perfect Turf is that there is no need to worry about stains when your cat and dog needs to go to the toilet. They allow pet urine to be washed off and faeces to be removed easily and hygienically. Unlike natural lawns, artificial grass fibres are not damaged by animal faeces or urine.

As with most surfaces, however, strong smells can build up if not washed through, particularly in hot, dry weather. The good news is spillages on all artificial turf can be easily washed away.

We recommend owners establish a pet toilet area where mild detergents can be used to help manage smells. Train the dog to pee in this one section and reward him when he does so. Some dogs have exceptionally strong smelling urine, so – as with any toilet area – particular attention needs to be given to flushing away waste residue.

Dogs love to sniff out other canine smells and they generally prefer to do their business away from their own garden. Regular walks help to encourage healthy bathroom habits.

Once you have fake grass installed, you no longer need to use any harmful fertilisers or other chemicals to keep a healthy-looking lawn. That means no more concerns about exposure of potentially harmful chemicals to pets and children.
