Benefits of Artificial Grass for Your Dogs
Maintaining a healthy lawn can be a daunting task on its own, having to mow, fertilize, aerate, and water consistently. This job becomes a little more difficult when you are a proud pet owner. With the extra work that dogs contribute to a natural grass lawn, installing artificial turf in your yard will take a load off your shoulders.
Why install pet turf?
Dog urine kills green grass
When dogs urinate on your lawn, yellow patches occur due to the chemical makeup of their pee. There are a variety of nitrogen compounds in dog urine that comes from the high levels of protein that makes up a dog’s diet. There are different factors that affect the size of grass burn spots, such as dog size, gender, and amount of water consumed. With artificial turf, the only problem with dog urine will be the smell, which could be washed out and cleansed with an odor eliminator.
Pet friendly turf prevents digging
One of a dog’s favorite activities is digging, whether it is to bury valued items, hunting animals, or for pure entertainment. With real grass, your pet may dig holes and track that dirt into the house with them. Installing artificial pet turf allows you to cut down on the holes in your yard and any unwanted dirt in your home.
Bugs and critters are reduced
With real grass lawns, bugs and critters thrive since it serves as a source of food and a place to breed. With your dog running around, this could mean fleas and ticks in your home. With pet turf, the bugs and critters are turned away since they won’t be able to burrow into the lawn and overall find it unappealing.
Synthetic grass was designed to drain efficiently
Another benefit of having synthetic turf in your yard is its ability to drain well. Real grass lawns require you to aerate the lawn so the nutrients and water flow into the soil. If this isn’t done, water can be stagnant, creating mud, dead spots, and opportunities for mosquitoes to breed. With artificial grass, you don’t need to worry about these problems and the muddy paws that come with it.
