FAQs: Everything You Need To Know About Pet Turf

As pet turf quickly becomes the go-to choice for dog-friendly landscaping, many homeowners are curious about this innovative alternative to natural grass. Grizzly Outdoor has the answers to all your burning pet turf questions! Read on to learn everything you need to know about how pet turf installation can transform your home and lifestyle.

Is Pet Turf Safe for Dogs?

Yes! Pet turf is specially designed to keep your furry friends safe while they play and nap. Carefully-woven synthetic grass fibers create a plush texture that cushions their paws as they run and jump around. Pet turf products are also made from non-toxic, lead-free, and hypoallergenic materials to protect their health and safety. Plus, since artificial turf doesn’t require toxic maintenance chemicals or fertilizers, your pet can’t accidentally ingest them while exploring outdoors.

Will Pet Urine and Waste Ruin Pet Turf?

No. A significant appeal of pet turf for dog owners is its resilience to pet urine and waste. Unlike natural grass blades, the durable fibers in pet turf won’t burn, deteriorate, or discolor due to the chemicals in pet urine. You can look forward to a lush lawn year-round! Artificial turf installation also features ultra-efficient drainage to enhance sanitation, making it easy to rinse pet waste from your yard. High-quality pet turf drains as much as 400 inches of water per hour per square yard, efficiently removing pet urine and waste from your landscape to prevent bacterial growth.

Is It Comfortable for Dogs?

Yes, pet turf provides the most comfortable environment possible in Southern California. The soft-to-the-touch fibers won’t scratch or irritate your dog’s sensitive paw pads; they’re woven through a thatch layer for improved cushioning. Synthetic grass can also be installed with a shock-absorbing underpad that protects your dogs from injury, regardless of how hard they play. Advanced pet turf may also feature heat-reflective technology that reduces surface temperatures by up to 15 percent, to keep dogs cool while they lounge in the sun.

Can Dogs Dig Into Pet Turf?

Nope! Pet turf features a robust polyurethane backing, and each turf blade is triple-reinforced into the backing using tuft-bind technology, which provides impressive pull force resistance. Try as they might, your dogs won’t be able to dig up your synthetic grass lawn. These innovations also protect your lawn from heavy foot traffic and extreme weather. While your dogs will enjoy pet turf’s lifelike feel, you’ll fall in love with the consistent curb appeal it provides!

Is Pet Turf Expensive to Maintain?

Fortunately for your wallet, pet turf significantly reduces your monthly expenses. While natural grass requires daily watering, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and gas-powered equipment, pet turf products don’t. This advantage translates to hundreds, if not thousands, of monthly savings. This helps make your home more eco-friendly, too!
