Playing outside is great for dogs, but they can often dig and otherwise make a mess of your lawn. Not only that, but they can also track mud and other debris inside your house, creating more work for you in cleaning your floors and bathing your pet. Artificial grass eliminates these problems and more. Read on to learn why synthetic turf is such an attractive option for homeowners with dogs.

Say Goodbye to Digging

If your dog tries to dig in your synthetic lawn, they won't get very far. The protective backing on the turf will prevent your pup from reaching the ground underneath. Artificial grass is highly durable, so your dog likely won't be able to damage it. After a few failed attempts, your pooch likely won't even try to dig anymore. Even if they do manage to rip the turf, although it is unlikely, it will be relatively easy to fix with a simple patch.

Keep Your Home and Your Pet Cleaner

The protective backing on your artificial grass also helps to keep mud and dirt at bay. Even if you let your pup outside during rainy weather, they won't get mud on their paws, so you won't have to worry about them tracking it back into your house. This will reduce the frequency with which you need to mop your floors, and it can also reduce the need for baths for your dog as well.

Less Exposure to Ticks and Other Bugs

Dogs can often get bitten by ticks and other insects in artificial grass. This can potentially lead to scratching, diseases, and other consequences for your pup. Synthetic lawns naturally fend off bugs, as there is no food for them to eat, so insect bites will be much less of a concern. Of course, this is a benefit for you as well as your pooch, so you can play with them safely.

Easy to Clean Up Pet Waste

When dogs go outside to do their business, their waste can make a mess of natural grass, leaving bare, yellowed patches as the urine kills the grass. You won't have to worry about this anymore with artificial grass, as there is nothing to kill. While it is possible for pet waste to stain turf, it is unlikely due to the turf's durability and built-in stain resistance. To clean your artificial lawn, simply pick up any solid pet waste, then rinse the turf with a hose to clear away liquid waste. Synthetic grass has good drainage, so most waste and odors will rinse away along with the clean water.

A Soft, Comfortable Place to Play

Artificial grass, especially the high-quality varieties, is plush and soft underfoot, so it provides a great place for you and your pup to play. In many cases, turf will stay relatively cool to the touch, even on hot days, so you can enjoy your synthetic lawn throughout the summer, knowing that it is safe for both you and your furry friend.
