Artificial Grass & Pets

What is your question?

Can my pets play on artificial grass all day? Will their skin or fur get irritated if they stay on it for too long?

2020-05-27T06:16:56+00:00

Our artificial grass is absolutely safe for human and your pets, it won’t be a problem for your pets to play on it all day long. One caution I always give to all pet owners is that even though the artificial grass is perfectly safe to be walked and played on, they are made of plastic resins an not meant for chewing or eating or swallowing by people or pets. So if you would leave your pets playing on the artificial grass surface for a long time, please make sure that they won’t chew or eat artificial grass.

Will pets ruin artificial putting greens? If I install a putting green in my yard, will my dog ruin it or try to dig through it?

2020-04-29T02:24:46+00:00

I don’t think dog will ruin any artificial grass as they are all designed to be pet friendly. However, for artificial grass putting greens, you will need to be careful with the dogs on it for the following reasons:

1. Artificial grass putting greens are designed for golf putting, a rather dedicated surface to simulate the real putting greens which has functions of ball speed, smoothness and consistencies. For dogs to play on it, especially when dogs are digging or chewing on it, it might destroy the original functions of a putting greens. I don’t see any issues for dog walking on it though, which is the same as normal human traffic.

2. It won’t be a good idea for dog to do their business on an artificial grass putting green surface either. Even though all our putting greens have drain holes, but to keep the it hygienic and clean is equally important for the purpose of having a putting green.

3. Larger dogs with big and sharp nails can catch on the fibers of artificial grass putting greens which can cause the inconsistency of ball movements once fibers been tore. This is also echo my previous point.

Can artificial grass be used in fish tanks or reptile tanks? Will the animals have a negative reaction to the fake grass? Is it safe?

2020-04-23T06:23:14+00:00

Our artificial grass is safe for all animals and human. We have to acknowledge that majority of homeowners’ artificial grass applications are for dogs, but it doesn’t mean the turf is not ideal for any other animals or pets. Given the fact of certain pets can be big and destructive, more secured installations might be necessary. Many people have different type of pets, I will recommend owners of pets other than dogs or cats to reach out to our experts for further instructions before making any commitments.

If I replace my yard with pet grass, will my pets get dirty? Does the turf accumulate dirt, pee, etc? How often do I have to rinse it with a hose?

2020-04-08T02:28:45+00:00

This is a great question! Artificial grass is as clean as you can get for your pets to play on. Our artificial turf surface has no dirt or soil associated with which provide an excellent playing surface for your pets. Actually the pets applications is one of the main advantages artificial grass offers. Not like real grass which can get really dirty, messy or muddy with rains or water, artificial turf will never have that problem, you can literally have your pets play on the turf in the rain or right afterward, the surface might get a bit wet from the residues on the turf blades, but at least the surface will be clean and free of mud. 

I can't think of anything else will give you the benefits to your pets than artificial grass, you should feel free to have it installed and you will be happy when you see how much your pets enjoy it.

What does Pet Grass have that the other regular turfs don't? Which pets are compatible with it? What kind of testing has it gone through to ensure the safety to my pets? In terms of design and looks, is there any difference between pet grass and regular turf?

2020-03-19T05:06:53+00:00

This a good question! Here are the main advantages of Pet Grass besides it is specially designed for pets:

1. Pet Turf has excellent drainage capacities, 2-4 times more than regular artificial grass which ensures dog urines drain through the turf quickly and completely.

2. We design Pet Turf to be shorter than regular artificial grass so make it easier to clean up any droppings and rinse off, also reduce the chances of dogs to chew or pull.

3. We use one of most durable fibers to make Pet Turf the strongest possible given the fact of your dogs play and do their business on it. 

There are more to it, but the above are the main advantages for our Pet Turf artificial grass. You can always feel free to reach us via phone, email or fill out the online form to get connected with one of our experts for your further questions or concerns: https://www.globalsynturf.com/free-quote

I might get some for my dogs
Most turf owners who also have pets always say that "poop scooping" has never been easier since they had installed fake grass.

I always use baking soda in cleaning. Can I use it in my artificial grass as well?

2020-03-12T22:21:51+00:00

Technically you can, however, using baking soda on large areas of artificial grass might not be your best practical option. I assume that you have an outdoor installation, if so, using garden hose along with an attached bottle filled with vinegar and spray down the smelly areas, and you are set! Using vinegar is probably the most inexpensive way for the dog urine solutions. If your budget permits, you can always choose our Pet Odor Neutralizer, it will not only get rid of the smell, but also give off a fresh grass cut scent which is very pleasant.

I have dogs and I will buy the odor control
I have 4 dogs and cleaning their urine took me forever to do. I will definitely buy the odor neutralizer!
I'd like to try that Pet odor neutralizer. Will definitely buy one to test it.
Wow. I didn't know there is such a thing that can neutralize pet's odor specifically for synthetic grass. I will check that out.

My dog is a hard digger, do you think he can make holes in my artificial grass?

2020-02-25T01:09:14+00:00

You got a good question. As we all know that some dogs tends to have bad habit to chew and dig on things such as furnitures, carpet, dirt and etc.. Artificial grass itself won't prevent your dogs from digging, and I definitely worry about the fact of your turf being damaged by your dog or it can hurt your dog if he chews or eat the grass. Even though our artificial grass is designed and made with excellent pull strength, but if your dog keep at it, the turf will get damaged. The only suggestion I have for you is to train your dog not to dig or chew or eat the artificial grass at this point.

Every material thing is breakable so you have to take care of your artificial grass too and not let your dog dig it.

I don't have enough time to run my dog so I was thinking of converting a bit of my extra space into one. Can I install it there?

2020-02-17T02:23:55+00:00

Our artificial grass is perfect for your dog run, it is safe, clean and requires minimum maintenance! The dog run areas normally is small, and I can't imagine dog owners to leave dog on dirt, or plant a small part of real grass for dog runs given the fact of water it and maintain it: You have your dogs on it after you water the real grass as when it is wet, it is muddy and messy; for such a small area, you still need to bring in your big lawn mower to cut the grass periodically: what a hassle! If you ever forgot to keep up with the grass, it will grow tall and messy making it so difficult to pick up dog's droppings. Artificial grass will eliminate all the above issues if you use it for dog run: you always have the green area for your dog, easy to clean and pick up dog's poos, and simply garden hose off when you need to really clean it. To get rid of smells, you can use vinegar or our Pet Deodorant that you can find on this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/products/pet-odor-neutralizer

Another tip is that when you are installing your dog run with artificial grass, use our zeolite infills which can help neutralize the dog urine smells from time to time. Here is the link:

Your dog must be very happy when he starts running on the artificial grass. It's no difference with the real grass.

2020-02-16T03:15:44+00:00

In my opinion, all of our artificial grass products are suitable for dogs, you can use any type of our turf products for you lawn applications which will be good for your dog to play on. If you want something specifically for dogs, Pet Turf will be the best choice as it is designed and manufactured with just pets in mind: far superior permeability for dog urine, shorter yet durable fibers which makes it easy to clean off and harder for dogs to pull. If installed with zeolite infills, you will have less worries about getting bad smells. Here are the links for our Pet Turf and Zeolite infills:

You can choose whatever artificial grass you think will work for your dog. Just make sure you're using the ones with short blades so it's easy to clean.

I'm a bit concerned about my dog pulling it. Will it be ruined?

2020-01-23T06:27:49+00:00

If your installation was done properly to start with, it will be difficult for your dog to ruin the grass that easily. It also depend on how big is your dog. A big powerful dog can tore up almost anything. When the installation was done correctly with nails every 4-6 inches apart along the perimeters of your turf, your grass should be very securely affixed to the ground. However, if your dog keep pulling on it consistently, I am afraid that the edges will getting loose up and eventually fail. So the only way I can think of is to train your dog not to pull the artificial grass, not to chew and not to eat it.

I don't think so, because GST products are of high quality and very durable. Your dog should not be able to pull it as long as the artificial grass is properly installed.
Good thing I trained my dog not to chew my turf.
We used long nails when we installed our artificial grass and our dog has a hard time ripping it.
