How Artificial Grass Protects Your Pets
Every pet owner will tell you that their precious pooch or adventurous feline is a part of their family, and there’s no doubt that we would do anything to keep all our family members safe. There’s no question that a luscious lawn is one of the best things you can give your pet, but natural grass isn’t always the winning choice for ensuring your furry companion remains safe.
Nasty fleas, ticks and invisible contaminants are just a few dangers that could be lurking in your garden. Luckily, installing artificial grass can be an excellent way to protect your pets without compromising a beautiful garden.
Here are just a few ways artificial grass can protect your pets:
The Ultimate Pest Control
Natural grass can serve as a breeding ground for pests such as ticks and fleas. These unwanted critters can lurk between your natural grass blades, waiting for your fur baby to trot on before latching on. Ticks and fleas can be a nightmare for you and your pets and can trigger intense scratching, hair loss, tapeworm infestations and scabs. Artificial grass provides a less hospitable environment for these creatures, leading to a significant reduction in the likelihood of your pets encountering these irritating and potentially disease-carrying pests in your outdoor space. This helps create a cleaner, more comfortable space for your beloved companion.
No Harmful Pesticides
Traditional lawns often require pesticides and herbicides to control pests, weeds and other unwanted vegetation. Unfortunately, this tends to leave behind harmful fumes and residue that affect more than just the unwanted creatures and vegetation. Irritation of skin and eyes, vomiting and trouble breathing are just a few of the symptoms that could affect your pets when exposed to these harmful chemicals. In contrast, artificial grass doesn’t require herbicides to maintain its luscious appearance. Additionally, it offers no food source or shelter for pests, which helps to keep them at bay. This allows your pets to frolic on your artificial lawn without you having to worry about whether they’re being exposed to harmful contaminants.
Excellent Drainage Means No Stagnant Water
Stagnant water, such as puddles caused by excessive rainfall, can harm your pets’ health as it can be a breeding ground for bacteria and parasites. The natural grass’ drainage is determined by the quality of the grass itself, but this can make it incredibly unpredictable when it comes to drainage. One of the many incredible features of Easigrass™ artificial grass is its excellent drainage. With holes every 10 centimetres, you’ll never have to worry about your dog drinking or playing in standing water that could be detrimental to their health.
A Paradise For Playtime
Energetic pets who love to roughhouse will have the best time with artificial grass installed. Not only is it soft on their paws, but it provides an even and well-maintained surface that helps prevent scrapes and scratches during exuberant and energetic play sessions. While there’s nothing more adorable than watching your dog zoom about, sometimes this can cause chipped or broken nails, especially if your home has hardscapes such as concrete and asphalt. Even natural grass can be a tripping hazard during playtime as this terrain can often be uneven and have hidden obstacles or holes, increasing the likelihood of injury. Artificial grass provides a consistent and smooth surface that ensures your dog is free to run, jump, and play without the fear of getting hurt.
