If you are the proud owner of a dog, then you know how much effort goes into keeping your furry best friend happy and healthy. From taking them on walks to feeding them nutritious food, there is no shortage of work when caring for a pup! But what about their backyard? If it’s not safe or clean enough for humans to be in (natural grass is filled with pests, allergens and trip hazards), why should it be any better for our pets?
That’s where artificial grass for dogs in Stockton comes in. Synthetic turf offers pet owners an opportunity to create a beautiful, low-maintenance and super fun space that will keep both people and animals happy!
Natural Lawns Can Be Unsafe for Dogs
Dogs can’t tell the difference between natural grass and poisonous plants
Dogs have a hard time telling what is poisonous from what’s not. Weeds, plants, flowers? They all look like potential snacks to curious pups! Unfortunately, this also means they can easily bite into or ingest something toxic in a natural lawn.
Chemicals in pesticides and fertilizers are extremely harmful to dogs
Dogs are curious and often taste things to determine if they’re safe. They’ll sniff around your lawn, explore the yard looking for an interesting scent or take a drink from the garden hose— all without thinking about how dangerous that can be, especially if it’s right after you’ve treated your lawn with pesticides, insecticides and other chemicals
Natural grass attracts fleas and ticks which can quickly infest your dogs and make them sick
Fleas and ticks love natural grass because it’s a safe, warm environment that provides food and shelter. One romp through your yard, and your dog can cross paths with these pests. They’ll quickly infest your dogs, and can even make them sick with diseases like Lyme disease which can be fatal. In addition, they’ll mate and lay eggs right on your pet’s fur and lawn, creating an even more difficult problem.
There are too many allergens for sensitive pets on natural grass, such as pollen, dust mites or mold spores
If your dog is always scratching themselves raw after playing in the yard and they also have rashes, fur falling out in patches and you have no idea why, they may have a grass allergy. Sadly, there are too many allergens for sensitive pets on natural grass, such as pollen, dust mites or mold spores.
Dogs always come home dirty after playing on natural grass
Spending time on a natural lawn (especially after it rains!) always results in a dirty dog, whether that’s from mud and dirt, grass burrs stuck in their coat and bacteria in their paws. And a dirty dog = dirty home, an untimely bath and an unhappy pet and pet owner.
How Synthetic Grass in Stockton Creates a Better Backyard for Dogs
Stockton synthetic grass is an excellent choice for pet owners who don’t want to worry about the mess and dangers that come with natural turf:
Artificial grass for dogs in Stockton is a great way to keep your yard clean and free of dirt
Artificial grass for dogs in Stockton is dirt-free, which means both your lawn and dog will not get muddy even after it rains. In addition, it does not absorb dog urine or other liquids quite as well as natural turf. In fact, it doesn’t absorb anything at all thanks to its efficient drainage layer!
Keeping pet turf clean and sanitary is as easy as hosing down the lawn, which will flush dirt, urine, poop residue and bacteria away. For particularly soiled spots, rinse with a soapy solution after picking up any solid waste.
Dogs can’t get their paws and nails stuck in the artificial grass
Natural turf has blades of various lengths. Because of this, your dogs’ paws and nails can get caught in these blades when they walk on the turf, causing injuries. In contrast, artificial grass has uniformly short fibers which won’t get snagged on your dog’s nails and feet.
Furthermore, it’s safer for pets to walk on a synthetic surface because there are no depressions, sinking earth, sharp twigs, rocks and other ground imperfections to trip over.
Artificial grass doesn’t have any harmful chemicals or bacteria like real lawns do
Artificial grass is free from chemicals that can harm dogs, such as fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides. In addition, artificial grass is antibacterial, so your pets are protected from common infections that come from dirt and mud.
Dogs can’t ingest artificial grass and it’s made of non-toxic materials
Artificial grass fibers are nearly impossible for dogs to rip out, much less eat. In addition, weeds and poisonous plants can’t grow through a synthetic lawn as long as it’s properly installed with a weed barrier. Your dog can try and eat artificial grass, but they’ll be sorely disappointed!
Artificial grass is a great alternative to real grass if your dog has allergies
There are no plant pollen or other allergens on an artificial lawn that can cause your dog’s allergies to flare up. Because of this, your dog can spend more time outside without suffering from allergy symptoms. Better yet, the same hypoallergenic quality makes synthetic lawns safer for humans, too.
There are no bugs, so there’s less chance of infestation
Finally, synthetic grass is entirely pest-free. Bugs will never find breeding places, food or water on an artificial lawn. That means no ticks, fleas, roaches, mosquitoes, bees or other pests that can harm you and your pets.
