In this post, we'll share the benefits of artificial grass for pets and delve into the 7 important aspects of maintaining stunning and clean pet grass.
1. CHOOSING THE RIGHT PET-FRIENDLY TURF
Choose turf specifically designed for pets, ensuring durability to playful paws. Look for non-toxic turf, free from harmful chemicals that could harm your pets. Find the range of artificial grass safe for pets available through Southwest Greens, personalizing your choice to your pet's needs.
2. DAILY CARE ROUTINE
Engage in mild, regular brushing to remove pet hair and debris which will keep the turf looking healthy. Only use pet-safe cleaners for spot-cleaning any messes right away. Quickly inspect the turf to catch potential wear and tear before it becomes a problem.
3. PREVENTING SMELLS AND BACTERIA
Regularly wash the turf with water to reduce odors and keep up freshness. Use pet-safe enzymatic cleaners to handle unpleasant scents effectively.

5. PAW-FRIENDLY LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS
Incorporate pet-friendly features into your landscape design, such as designated play areas. Purchase plants and accessories that are safe for pets, creating a pleasant environment. Designate a cozy area for your pets to rest and play, enhancing their overall experience.
6. SEASONAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
Adjust your care routine based on varying weather conditions throughout the year. Prepare for heavy rain or snow by ensuring proper drainage to reduce matting. Protect the turf during extremely high or low temperatures, taking measures to maintain the turf's longevity. Take a look at our cold weather guide for more tips. Annual professional maintenance is also advised.
7. ENSURING SAFETY FOR PETS
Regularly check for sharp items or debris that may injure your pets while they play. Verify the absence of toxic chemicals in fertilizers or pesticides that could be used in the nearby area. High-quality turf virtually guarantees a secure environment for your pets to play, but it is still smart to ensure nothing harmful ends up in your yard.
