All pet owners want the best for their furry friends, whether that’s choosing a house with a lot of outdoor space or buying them the best food on the market. However, one factor that Sacramento homeowners may not consider is the type of landscaping they have. Grass is great for letting your dogs run and play, but the maintenance and upkeep needed isn’t always so great for you. Artificial grass is a great landscape alternative for pet owners because it gives your dogs the same soft, green grass to play on while reducing your maintenance requirements and giving you additional peace of mind that your yard will stay looking beautiful year-round.

Pet Turf

Any good synthetic grass installation begins with the turf product itself. Pet owners love synthetic grass because any variation you choose will have enhanced durability over natural grass and will remain green regardless of foot traffic or pet waste. However, there are also turf products that are specially engineered for use in homes or facilities with four-legged friends running around. Pet turf is made for moderate to heavy foot traffic and features dual blade tones for an ultra-realistic appearance. Each grass blade is triple reinforced through tuft bind technology and is incredibly resistant to pull force so your pup can play all day without damaging your lawn. The blades also remain green no matter how much your dog uses your turf as a restroom. You never have to worry about muddy paws, holes in your lawn, or brown patches when you opt for pet turf from Artificial Turf by Fenix.

Odor-Neutralizing Infill

Another great turf product for homeowners is odor-neutralizing infill such as ZeoFill. These infill products go between the turf blades and help to make the lawn more padded and comfortable. Infill also helps keep the blades upright for a natural, lush appearance. Some types of infill are specifically formulated for use in homes with pets. These infill products contain non-toxic, biodegradable granules that trap and neutralize ammonia-based odors such as those caused by pet waste. Choosing ZeoFill or a similar product will help keep your lawn clean and smelling fresh despite your pup’s best efforts.

Turf Deodorizer

Pet turf and infill are important considerations during the installation process, but what about afterward? After months or years of your dog playing on the same turf, you may start to notice slight odors from pet waste and other bacteria. Luckily, there are quick and easy turf deodorizer products that are formulated to combat pet-related odors on your artificial grass. After rinsing down your lawn with a hose, simply spray a turf deodorizer such as TurFresh as-needed and your backyard will smell as fresh as the day it was installed. Turf deodorizers are a great product for pet owners to have on hand in order to keep their synthetic grass looking pristine for years to come.
