Keeping Your House Clean is Easy After Installing Artificial Turf for Your Dogs

For those of us with pets, we know all about how fur babies can track the outside straight onto our carpets and comforters. Natural lawns have a way of becoming oversaturated and muddy, and dogs tend to love tossing and rolling and jumping in puddles before they come back inside from doing their business. As much as homeowners love that their dogs are happy and have a yard to play in, the one thing they hate is how messy their house can look as a result. That’s what great about artificial turf, upon installation, you’ll notice that it’s perfect for your dogs and you’ll also notice that your house will be so much cleaner. Contrary to some beliefs, artificial turf is not only optimal for homes and yards that experience heavy foot traffic, it’s also great for homes with pets.

Artificial turf is the perfect option for keeping your house clean, while also giving your pets a wonderful lawn to play on. Your dogs still get to enjoy the great outdoors, but now you’ll get to sit back and relax instead of having to clean and spend money on products to help you do so.

Here are some ways your house will stay cleaner once you install fake grass for dogs!

No More Digging

Let’s face it; dogs love to dig holes. Unfortunately, digging holes can equate to a lot of yard debris and dirt being tracked through your halls and floors. The great thing about artificial turf is that digging will not be an issue anymore, as it’s foundation is extremely durable. The foundation found in artificial turf is smoothed over with filler that doesn’t attract a dog’s attention the same way that sod and dirt have a way of doing. With minimal digging opportunities, there are less dirty paws and less mess for you to have to spend time cleaning up.

Less Pollen

Springtime pollen can be overwhelming. Once the pollen has settled in on your dogs’ coat, it then finds a way of ending up in your house. Artificial turf is unique in that it does not pollinate like grass. You will find that when you install true artificial grass that it is hypoallergenic. The reduction of pollen around your yard, on your dog and in your house will be apparent once you install artificial turf.

No More Wet Grass

Wet grass is a pain when you have to walk across your yard after a storm and then into your house. As a human, you can take your shoes off. As a dog, you just have to walk across the house with wet, grassy paws. And that makes for a whole lot of mess! When you install artificial turf you’ll never have to mow, so wet grass clippings will no longer be an issue. Also, artificial turf is equipped with optimal drainage and therefore will not oversaturate the same way as a natural sod lawn. Rainwater is quickly diminished from the synthetic foundation and therefore you and your dogs can walk across without and wet grass sticking to you.

No Upset Stomachs

As much as dogs love to dig in yards, they also love to sometimes eat the grass on natural lawns. Like most things, too much of anything can be a bad thing, and that grass eating can ultimately lead to a sick dog. Artificial turf, with its durable foundation, can not be eaten or dug up, and therefore will not result in any household cleanups.

Less Mud

For healthy natural lawns, rain is essential. However essential, rainwater can also lead mud and puddles accumulating in your yard. Dogs love to find mud and they love to flip and flop in and around those puddles. Muddy paws are a homeowner’s worst nightmare when their homes are full of carpet, especially white carpet. You will never have to worry about muddy paws once you install artificial turf. Artificial turf requires minimal water, has optimal drainage and therefore mud puddles are non-existent. Less mud means less messy floors and messy baths and that means you’ll have a cleaner dog and cleaner house.

Artificial turf is a great investment for any homeowner, but especially one with dogs. Cleaning up after your dog plays in the yard is time-consuming and can also be expensive with all the cleaning products you have to continuously purchase. Artificial turf allows for a cleaner play area and a cleaner home. So not only is your investment adding to your curbside appeal, it’s contributing to your overall property value because your yard will pristine and so will the inside of your home.
