Synthetic grass is an excellent solution for pet owners looking for a landscaping alternative that is low-maintenance and pet friendly. With artificial grass, there’s no dirt, mud, digging, or brown patches to worry about — just beautifully green grass all year long.

When shopping for pet turf, however, it’s important to choose the right infill to go along with your synthetic grass installation. There are many different infill options available, each with its own unique benefits for you and your pup’s needs. Here are a few ways the right infill can help complement your pet-friendly artificial grass yard.

Minimize Pet Odors

One of the most common problems pet owners have with dogs roaming their backyard is odor. Pets, especially their urine, create unpleasant odors and leave them behind in your backyard when they go out to play. By choosing the right infill, however, you can reduce or eliminate this issue so you and your pup can enjoy your lawn to the fullest.

Antimicrobial infill products such as Envirofill work to eliminate odor-causing bacteria at their source. Envirofill utilizes Microbean technology, which has been scientifically proven to disrupt the bacteria process that converts pet urine into ammonia odor. While remaining non-toxic and pet-safe, Envirofill significantly reduces pet urine odors by up to 99 percent, so you can enjoy a fresh and odor-free lawn year-round while your pup still gets to enjoy plenty of time outdoors.

Help Your Synthetic Grass Last

Durability is another major concern in pet-friendly backyards, which is why synthetic grass is a preferred landscaping solution for homes with dogs. SGW Las Vegas turf products have some of the most durable backings in the industry, so they can withstand thousands of pounds of pull force without losing blades. That means that no matter how rough your dogs play, you’ll still enjoy a lush lawn with no missing patches.

This durability can be even further enhanced, however, with the addition of the right infill. Different kinds of infill can provide different levels of cushioning support, so the right infill will help keep your pup comfortable while also helping the turf grass last longer and withstand heavy wear and tear. Infill is also necessary for keeping the turf backing down and holding blades upright, so maintaining infill levels with a high-quality infill product will prevent your pet turf from wrinkling, ripping, lifting, or otherwise becoming damaged prematurely.

Keep Your Pup Cool

The benefits of infill aren’t just for you and your lawn; they extend to your pup as well. The right infill for dog-friendly artificial grass can help keep your pup more comfortable while they’re outside, including keeping them cooler in the heat.

Your lawn can get extremely hot in direct sunlight, especially during the summer months, which can be uncomfortable or even dangerous for your dog and its paw pads. Luckily, synthetic grass offers solutions for keeping your family cool and comfortable through TigerCool turf products and specialized infill. TigerCool utilizes heat-reflective technology to keep surface temperatures up to 15 percent cooler, and by adding specialized infill, you can reduce your turf grass’ surface temperatures even further.
