Although natural grass lawns can provide an open space for your dog to play in, they can also bring with them several possible hazards that pose a risk to your pet’s well-being. You can avoid these hazards while still maintaining a safe play area for your dog by transitioning to artificial turf. Here’s how an artificial turf installation can eliminate common hazards for your pet dog.

Ticks

Animals like squirrels and rats can bring ticks to natural grass lawns. From there, ticks can grow and multiply by nesting in the soil and later feeding on the blades of the grass. Tick bites can be especially dangerous because serious diseases like Lyme disease can be transmitted. Because synthetic grass covers the soil and does not retain moisture, it prevents ticks from coming in and multiplying.

Grass Seeds

Grass seedshave been proven to be more than a minor annoyance for your dog. Their sharpness can pierce your pet’s skin and cause swelling to occur. With artificial turf, you won’t have to worry about grass seeds bothering your pets any longer.

Weeds

Natural grass lawns can be home to weeds like Cicuta virosa, Milkweed, and Buckwheat. With weeds, there’s a chance that your dog could mistakenly ingest something that is poisonous to it. This is preventable with a well-installed artificial turf that has been equipped to prevent any weed infestation.

Lawn Care Chemicals

Natural grass lawns require lawn care chemicals like fertilizers, pesticides, and weedicides to be able to maintain their functionality and appearance. However, these chemicals can bring toxic residues that could be exposed to your pet and cause further problems.
