With RealTurf artificial grass installation, you can turn your yard into the perfect retreat—not only for you but also for your beloved dogs. Simply installing synthetic turf can turn the area into a pet haven, as it’s soft, paw-friendly, and safe for dogs.
And if you want to go the extra mile, you can also use it to set up or upgrade amenities for your pups. Consider these fun ideas:
1. Doggy Pools
To install a doggy pool, choose a suitable location with a level surface in your yard. Ensure the pool has a non-slip bottom and shallow steps for easy access. It will give your dogs a refreshing way to cool off, engage their natural instincts to swim, and offer a new form of exercise and play.
Artificial grass provides a slip-resistant surface around the pool area. It also allows for quick drainage and eliminates muddy spots, keeping the area clean and hygienic.
2. Scent Gardens
Select dog-safe plants with appealing scents, such as lavender, chamomile, or mint. Plant them in pots or raised beds throughout a designated area. Dogs will adore the scent garden as it stimulates their powerful sense of smell, provides mental enrichment, and satisfies their natural curiosity.
A RealTurf artificial grass installation creates an ideal foundation for your scent garden. It’s scentless, so it won’t affect the way your fragrant plants smell. Additionally, it provides a comfortable surface for your dog to explore and sniff without the risk of pests or allergens.
3. Agility Courses
Design an agility course with different obstacles like tunnels, weave poles, and jumps. Ensure the course is age and size-appropriate for your dogs. Pups love agility courses because they challenge their physical and mental abilities, boost their confidence, and strengthen the bond between pet and owner through training and play.
The even and consistent surface provided by artificial grass reduces the risk of injury as your dog navigates the agility course. Its durability ensures the course remains intact even with regular use.
4. Digging Zones
Create a digging zone by building a small, contained sandbox filled with sand or pet-safe dirt. Add toys or treats to encourage digging in the designated area. Your dogs will love digging zones because they cater to their innate desire to dig, offer mental stimulation, and provide a safe outlet for energy and natural instincts.
RealTurf artificial turf can create a clear boundary between the digging zone and the rest of the yard, helping to contain the mess.
Why Not Grow Grass Instead?
Artificial turf doesn’t just complement these pet amenities. It can also make your life (as a dog owner) easier in ways that natural grass can’t match. Here’s how:
- Artificial turf eliminates muddy spots, keeping your yard clean and free of dirt tracked indoors by your dogs.
- It can withstand rough play and digging dogs without damage.
- It’s a breeze to maintain, saving time and effort compared to regular lawn care.
- Cleaning up after your pets and keeping the turf odor-free is easy.
- With no need for toxic lawn chemicals, it’s eco-friendlier than real grass.
- Pet turf is hypoallergenic, reducing allergen exposure for both you and your pets.
- It reduces water consumption, making it a more sustainable choice for your yard.
