Is Chicago Artificial Turf Safe for Dogs? Here Are The Facts
As a pet owner, you always want the best for your beloved companions. If you also have a grass lawn, maintaining it AND keeping your dog happy can seem like a tall order.
Chicago artificial turf is the ideal solution to both. It looks and feels like real grass, while being immune to the wear and tear of an active pup. As a bonus, it requires almost no maintenance to keep looking lush.
Still, you may be wondering if something synthetic can actually be safe for your dog.
The answer is yes! Artificial grass is entirely non-toxic and safe for pets, as long as it’s been constructed with the highest quality materials.
For instance, the pet turf we use here at RealTurf USA has a triple safety certificate against bacteria. We also manufacture it with our exclusive MaxDrain Realtech® technology for exceptional drainage. Since our artificial turf for dogs drains 3X faster than regular artificial grass, urine, dirt, and other unsanitary substances drain right through.
Here are more reasons why RealTurf pet grass is safer than natural grass:
No Need for Toxic Chemical Treatments
Ironically, keeping real grass lush and healthy requires many “unnatural” treatments such as pesticides, weed killers, and fertilizers. These can be dangerous to your pup if ingested or come into contact with their skin. Worse, you need to reapply them regularly if you want to maintain a healthy lawn.
Chicago artificial turf will never need these toxic treatments to stay green and beautiful. The turf material, infill, and installation materials themselves meet the highest safety standards. As a result, you can be sure that your pup is safe from any chemicals.
No More Muddy Paws
Nobody likes tracking mud all over the house, and it can be especially difficult to clean up when your dog loves running around outside.
Since our artificial turf for dogs has a strong drainage system and no soil, it’s impossible for mud to form. This means no more dirty carpets and furniture, as well as all the viruses and bacteria that come with mud.
Easy to Clean
No matter what you do, you can never completely get rid of natural grass’ tendency to attract pests, bacteria, and debris. If your dog goes potty in your yard, their waste adds even more germs and bacteria. Got multiple dogs at home? The mess multiplies.
On the other hand, artificial turf in Chicago is much easier to clean and disinfect. Simply rinse down the turf with a hose or light pressure washer, and you’re good to go. You can also use pet-safe enzyme cleaners or mild soap to disinfect the area.
RealTurf’s artificial grass for dogs is a great option for pet owners who want both a beautiful lawn and a safe environment for their canine pals. With its outstanding drainage system and non-toxic materials, you can be sure that your pup will love it just as much as you do.
