Southwest Greens is excited to present a revolutionary breakthrough in eco-friendly infill for artificial grass that’s safe for pets: K9 Sand. This amazing product not only boasts a 100% natural composition, but it’s also sustainable and carbon-negative, actively removing more carbon from the air than is used for extracting it. Read on to find out more about K9 Sand for Las Vegas pet turf!
THE SCIENCE OF K9 SAND
The carbon-negative feature has earned K9 Sand a prestigious negative carbon footprint certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). But that is just the beginning when it comes to the benefits of using K9 Sand in your turf project.
K9 Sand is renowned for its uniformly round, hard grains, carefully chosen to improve performance (see Figure 1). Responsibly harvested from naturally existing and regenerative deposits on the ocean shelf, K9 Sand ensures environmental sustainability. Southwest Greens utilizes sustainable extraction practices, harvesting less than a minimal percentage of the total amount renewed each year. This commitment to environmental stewardship ensures that our 100% natural and sustainable turf infill remains in balance with nature.

Once you buy a bag of Southwest Greens' K9 Sand, you will appreciate its compact and uniform grain size, which makes installation a breeze. The uniform and round shape of the grains creates tiny voids between neighboring particles, significantly enhancing water drainage. Moreover, the smooth shape of K9 Sand minimizes wear and tear on artificial grass fibers over time.
The hardness and dustless nature of K9 Sand guarantee a durable and reliable infill solution. But the advantages keep going — K9 Sand also keeps surface of the turf cool. Each grain of K9 Sand is made up of microscopic openings that retain water. As the surface temperature rises, the water in these tiny pores is released, which allows cooling through evaporation and reducing the temperature by approximately 20°F compared to typical turf infills. With its high bulk density (106 lbs per cubic foot), K9 Sand ensures optimal ballast, preventing wrinkling and maintaining an immaculate appearance.
THE BENEFITS OF K9 SAND
When it comes to caring for the environment, K9 Sand stands head and shoulders above the competition. It is non-toxic, has no heavy metals and plastics, and embodies an unyielding devotion to the well-being of our planet. Moreover, K9 Sand offers unique qualities that make it the perfect infill solution for Las Vegas artificial grass for pets. It significantly reduces the odor of urine (see Figure 2).

Urine’s odor comes from the volatilization of ammonia. K9 Sand tackles this issue by stopping the breakdown of ammonia in urine. Additionally, K9 Sand prevents the growth of bacteria, similar to other turf infills with bacteria-reducing additives (see Figure 3). These remarkable benefits are obtained without the need for any additives or coatings — K9 Sand is simply collected from the ocean, thoroughly cleaned, and transported to your doorstep.
