Dog parks are fantastic spaces where your pet can run and play freely without the hindrance of a leash or harness. But they can also be full of germs, muddy spots and dried grass that ends up in your home afterward. Dog park owners are finding that synthetic grass is the perfect solution to these challenges. Artificial turf can turn a good park into an outstanding one, and offers benefits for the park owners, patrons and their dogs. Here are some of the many reasons why dog parks are switching to synthetic grass in order to benefit both the dogs and the owners.
Allergen-Free
Many dogs have grass allergies, and they’ll get itchy paws and bellies after they walk through the grass. If their allergies get bad, their owner will have to take them to the vet for medication and treatment, all of which can add up financially and cause irritation. With a artificial turf dog park, dogs with allergies can roam free and enjoy all the benefits of a traditional dog park setting without the uncomfortable itching that comes afterward.
No Chemicals
Artificial pet turf doesn’t require any chemicals to maintain (another cost savings), so it’s safe for extended use by all sorts of pets, and the fibers keep away ticks and fleas to prevent any infestation.
Fewer Bugs
One of the main downsides to natural dog parks is that fleas and other bugs can hide in the grass. Synthetic grass reduces the bug population, including fleas. The mesh backing of synthetic grass covers the dirt, which prohibits bugs from entering. Also, since bugs can’t eat the artificial grass, they’ll have to travel elsewhere to find other food sources. Owners and dogs will feel comfortable and secure knowing they have a significantly smaller chance of bringing ticks or fleas into their homes.
Less Germs
Importantly, artificial grass blades are germ-resistant. This is crucial for keeping dogs and humans healthy and happy. Manufacturers treat the blades with an antibacterial coating, which prohibits germs from breeding. Not to mention, the silica sand fill retains waste in a single spot, stopping germs from spreading.
Easy Maintenance
Artificial grass can withstand the wear and tear of dogs and children all day, every day. That makes artificial grass the perfect option for high-traffic areas. Park workers and owners will notice that cleaning up a park with synthetic turf is significantly easier. Artificial grass doesn’t need mowing or treating, greatly reducing maintenance. Debris may still affect the area, but it’s easy to clean. Additionally, trash and waste are easy to spot, and waste disposal is easier to implement. For urine or other liquid waste, spraying the area with a water-cleanser solution will make the area good as new.
It Feels Natural
Artificial turf has the look and feel of natural grass. It is so similar, that most dogs and their owners may not be able to tell the difference until they take a closer look.The most important aspect of artificial turf is that the dogs simply like it. The nylon and polyurethane blades look and feel like natural grass to dogs and humans, and its texture resembles the natural terrain found in backyards. With the natural feel and look, dogs can run, jump, and roll around without tracking mud or insects.
