Dog Friendly Turf: Key Elements

HomeBlogDog Friendly Turf: Key Elements

Your canine companion needs lots of space to play outside and expend their energy each day, but it can be frustrating if that means they come back into the house all muddy or they tear up your lawn in the process. Dog friendly turf can offer you and your pet a better experience.

Dog Friendly Turf: Key Elements

Not all dog friendly turf is created equal, so it’s important to know what matters most when you’re selecting a product. Here are some key elements to look for:

  • Easy to Clean – With turf for dogs, you need to think about solid waste and whether it can easily be removed. For easy cleanup, the blades should be short, dense, and durable.
  • Comfortable – Dog friendly turf is soft, cushioned, and designed to stay cool, so dogs can enjoy playing on it for extended periods and in any weather.
  • Non-Toxic – It isn’t dog friendly turf if the materials are not safe for them. Artificial turf should be made of non-toxic materials that won’t harm or irritate your pet if they roll around on it or ingest some of it.
  • Proper Drainage – Turf with excellent drainage is important for you and your dog. You don’t want your yard to smell like dog urine, and good drainage helps to prevent odors. You also don’t want your dog coming back into the house with wet paws. Plus, proper drainage helps prevent bacterial growth, creating a healthier environment.
