What Is Pet Turf?

Pet turf is a specialized type of artificial grass designed to handle the unique challenges of dogs:

• Urine and waste
• Digging and rough play
• High‑traffic wear
• Odour control
• Drainage and hygiene

It looks and feels like natural grass but performs far better in areas where real grass struggles — especially in small yards, shaded areas, or high‑use dog runs.

How Pet Turf Drains

Drainage is the most important part of any pet turf system. A proper installation includes:

• Permeable turf backing — allows urine to pass through instantly
• Free‑draining base — crushed stone or drainage panels
• Optional drainage grid — ideal for concrete or enclosed dog runs

When done correctly, liquids move through the turf and away from the surface, preventing odours and bacteria buildup.

How Pet Turf Controls Odours

Odour control comes from three components working together:

• Drainage — moves urine away from the surface
• Infill — antimicrobial or coated infills help neutralize odours
• Cleaning routine — rinsing + enzyme cleaners as needed

With the right system, pet turf stays fresh and clean even with multiple dogs.

What Makes Pet Turf Different From Regular Artificial Grass?

While they look similar, pet turf is engineered differently:

• Stronger backing to resist digging
• Higher drainage rate
• Shorter pile height for easier cleaning
• More durable fibres for heavy use
• Better odour‑control infill options

Regular landscape turf can work for light pet use, but dedicated pet turf is the best choice for daily dog activity.

Why Pet Turf Is Ideal for Backyards & Dog Runs

Pet turf solves the most common problems dog owners face with natural grass:

• Mud and mess after rain
• Dead patches from urine
• Digging and holes
