5 Things To Know About Artificial Grass and Your Pets
You love the look and feel of artificial grass sprawled across your garden, but will your pets love it too? While you may be familiar with all the reasons why installing an artificial lawn is such a wonderful investment for your property, including that it’s a low-maintenance alternative that saves you money in the long run, you’ll be happy to know that it’s also well-loved by dogs, cats and other pets who love spending time in your garden.
One of the biggest reasons homeowners choose to install artificial grass is because they find it challenging to maintain a natural lawn, especially with pets who love to dig holes and cause unsightly brown patches due to their “toilet breaks.”
It’s soft on the paws and a non-toxic alternative for your four-legged best friends, but what else do you need to know about artificial grass and your pets?
It Has No Harmful Chemicals
As mentioned above, a superb feature of artificial grass is that it’s safe for children and pets. Easigrass™ products are made with non-toxic materials, and you’ll also have the opportunity to toss those harsh pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers in the bin. With artificial grass installed, you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved fur baby is having the best time rolling about on the grass without worrying about whether they’re being exposed to harmful toxins and contaminants that may have adverse effects on their health.
It Won’t Take Them Long To Love It
It’s no secret all pets enjoy taking a much-needed nap or rolling about on a cushy surface. Synthetic turf is designed to look and feel like “real” grass, providing your precious pooch with a soft surface to rest their weary head. With no exposed soil, your pets can also roll about as much as their heart desires without getting dirt on their fur and paws.
It’s Great For Small Dogs
It can be a scary world for your tiny four-legged friend, especially when mowing and weeding have fallen to the wayside. Overgrown natural grass can be an unnecessary obstacle for little legs and may deter your small dog and cat from setting their paws outside. Synthetic grass will maintain its pile height and requires no mowing or weeding. You can rest assured your garden will always be a comforting and safe environment for your pets – no matter their size!
It’s a Breeze To Clean
Cleaning up after your pet comes with the territory of being a pet owner, but that doesn’t mean you should spend several hours cleaning up muddy pawprints trekked into from outside. The good news is that artificial grass makes it oh-so-easy to clean up after your pet. It provides excellent drainage, allowing you to rinse your pet’s regular bathroom spots with a hose pipe and eliminating persistent urine smells. Additionally, you can use a plastic rake to remove any pet fur that has accumulated while simultaneously re-fluffing your synthetic grass blades.
It’s Great For Habitual Pets
Similar to some humans, pets are creatures of habit. They love singling out a comfortable spot in the garden to sleep and will always go back to a specific area to do their business. No matter the reason, these habits can often be rough on natural grass. However, unlike real grass, your artificial lawn does not strain under heavy foot traffic and will bounce back with a quick brush. You’ll never have to worry about your active pets damaging your synthetic lawn with their active play or love of digging. Easigrass™ products are designed with a tough backing, making it difficult for them to break through and damage your lawn.
The Final Verdict
The combination of artificial turf’s versatile nature and pet-friendly features make it a win-win for home and pet owners looking to enjoy a pristine lawn year-round while still catering to their furry companion. Easigrass™ offers a range of technologically advanced artificial grass suitable for pets, making playtime happy, safe and mud-free!
