I wanted to get artificial turf for the side of my house where the dog run is. I have two beautiful Pit Bulls and I wanted to create a nicer, cleaner and better place for them to live. The local dog kennel here in town that I use to board my dogs when I am gone has artificial turf and the dogs love it. I asked the manger of the dog kennel who did their artificial turf and they told me they found a company on the internet called Global Syn Turf. She didn't have the phone number but told me to Google them and I would find them. I called them up and they picked up on the very first ring. They are a manufacture with 10 distribution centers nationwide and sell through their dealer network in North America. They sent me samples with an emphasis on their Pet Turf which has three times the amount of drainage as a normal piece of turf. The Pet Turf is shorter and easier to clean up. It is the turf the dog kennel uses. I had a bid to install the turf from the local Global Syn Turf dealer which I signed a contract with. The artificial turf Pet Turf is now installed in my side yard and I could not be happier. The turf looks great, the dogs are happy and I think it adds value to my house.
