How Safe Is Artificial Grass For Pets

It is a common miss-conception that artificial grass will not be enjoyed as much as real grass by pets. In actual fact pets absolutely love artificial grass; they will treat it no differently to natural grass and everyone can benefit from artificial grass installation.

For the most part it is dog owners who consider the effect of artificial grass on their pets. The dogs find the artificial grass surface soft and can really enjoy running and playing on the grass and it can be enjoyed all year around without having the problem of a muddy dog as the grass is always luscious green.

You won't need to panic and clean the dog's paws before they run through the house leaving behind a pattern of muddy paw prints!

You can wave goodbye to the days when you can't let the dog out to the garden because you have fertilised the lawn or applied weed killer to the lawn which could be harmful to them. Artificial lawn requires very little maintenance – in fact it’s practically maintenance free!

It does not require any fertiliser or weed killer and neither does artificial grass actually require to be cut. Another concern of dog owners when thinking about artificial grass installation is issues regarding wear and tear, staining and smells.

Dog urine will drain right through the artificial grass surface as it’s actually permeable; faeces can be removed easily and will not harm any of the artificial grass fibres which make up the surface.

Having luscious, green grass all year round certainly has its benefits however; artificial grass offers a safe, clean and odour-free environment which the whole family can enjoy – even the pets!

DCM Surfaces offers a complete range of artificial grass surfacing suitable for a wide range of applications. If you are looking for a complete job, supply and install then speak to our friendly team today and see what we can do.

In some cases our customers want to install the artificial turf themselves, whilst it is a skill we will supply our artificial grass to customers complete with everything they need to install it themselves should they so wish.
