PET-PROOF SYNTHETIC LAWNS

Pet owners take note: why maintain a natural lawn when you can save time and money by laying artificial grass? With a bit of maintenance and the use of quality deodorising and disinfecting products, you can keep your artificial grass clean and fresh… and your fourlegged family safe and happy.

TIPS TO MAINTAIN YOUR FAUX GRASS

1. Regularly rake and remove rubbish, such as leaves and dog poop. Pick up after your pooch daily to avoid any discolouration or staining of the grass.

2. The build-up of pet urine and odour on the synthetic surface is a common issue. Applying vinegar and water only masks the smell. Try quality products such as Smellbgone that absorb and destroy odours.

3. Protect synthetic lawn from playful pups by giving them something fun to do! Distract busy paws with chew toys and treats. And, how about playing ball or scent games, which will knock them out for a nap after.

4. Build a dog run to keep them off your ‘grass’.

5. Does your dog love to dig? Redirect his efforts with a wading pool or create a spot in your yard for excavation, such as a sandbox.
