Benefits of Artificial Grass for Pets

Artificial grass is the perfect choice for every home, enhancing gardens and making them a place your family will want to spend time in. This includes your furry friends, as pets are very much part of the family. 

At Artificial Lawn Company, we supply and install artificial grass for dogs and artificial grass for cats, and no matter what type of pet you have, our fake turf range offers a wide range of benefits.

The benefits of artificial grass for pets

Fake grass for pets offers several advantages, including:

Durability

Many pets, particularly dogs, love to dig, which can leave your garden full of holes, making it look unsightly. Artificial grass has the strength and durability to withstand digging, maintaining a luscious look across your lawn. That means no bald spots or muddy patches will appear from your pet’s activity.

Mud-free

Unlike real grass, artificial grass does not produce mud. This means there’s no need to worry about muddy pawprints tracking dirt inside your home, even after zoomies.

Improved drainage

Often, artificial grass vastly improves the drainage of your lawn. Some of our products even have special backings for extra porosity. These make it easier for your pet’s waste to be drained away without leaving any mess or odour.

Hard-wearing fibres

All of our artificial turf features hard-wearing fibres which provide great bounce-back ability. This means that even after spending hours playing with your pet outdoors, the turf has a pile recovery that springs back into its original condition and maintains its appealing aesthetic with minimal maintenance. Our grass will also not stain or discolour over time from your pets using them.

Reduces fleas and ticks

While natural grass can harbour all kinds of insects and pests, such as fleas, ticks, ants, slugs and snails, this is not so much the case with artificial options. This means there is less of a risk of your pet developing a problem from ingesting or coming into contact with such creatures.

No chemicals required

There is no need to use chemical weed killers or fertilisers on artificial grass to help it grow, meaning you don’t need to worry about your pet consuming these potentially harmful substances.

Can my pet urinate on artificial grass?

Yes, your pet is free to urinate on artificial grass in the same way it can on natural turf. In many ways, artificial grass is actually preferable when it comes to your pet’s toilet habits, as they’re fully permeable with drainage holes and some even have more specialist drainage systems that can easily channel the liquid away. Not only does this mean that no unpleasant odour will be left behind, but the luscious green look of your lawn will also be maintained. Occasionally, with pets toileting on the grass, we do recommend the use of enzyme-based cleaners to help reduce the risk of any odour buildup over time.
