Artificial Pet Grass

Artificial pet grass can minimize lawn upkeep.


Many animal shelters, kennels and private pet owners are now using artificial pet grass. Artificial pet grass looks and feels like real grass, but is specifically designed to minimize the upkeep of lawn areas that pets use for toileting.


Safety


Both artificial pet grasses and the fill used underneath them are nontoxic.


Pet Waste


Urine drains through artificial pet grass into the fill underneath without leaving any odor. Any marks left behind by feces can be easily cleaned with a hose and mild household cleaner, if necessary.


Abuse


Artificial pet grass is designed to be strong and holds up well to roughhousing dogs and any attempts at digging.


Cleanliness


Muddy spots are no an issue with artificial pet grass. Pet grass is clean and stops the dog from tracking dirt into the house.


People Benefits


Artificial pet grass does not need mowed, watered or fertilized. Insects and burrowing animals prefer real grass to pet grass.


Cons


Artificial pet grass may pay for itself over time because it requires little maintenance but it can be costly to purchase and install. Installing pet grass in only certain areas rather than redoing an entire lawn can help lower the cost.
