In this post, we'll discuss the advantages of synthetic grass for pets and go deep into the 7 key aspects of maintaining gorgeous and pristine pet grass.
1. SELECTING THE BEST PET-FRIENDLY TURF
Select turf intended for pets, ensuring durability to playful paws. Prioritize non-toxic options, free from toxic chemicals that could harm your pets. See the range of artificial grass safe for pets offered by Southwest Greens, personalizing your choice to your pet's preferences.

Engage in careful, routine 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. Conduct periodic inspections to catch potential damage before it becomes a concern.
3. PREVENTING BAD SMELLS AND BACTERIA
Regularly clean the turf with water to control odors and preserve freshness. Employ pet-safe enzymatic cleaners to take care of urine smells effectively.

6. SEASONAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
Adjust your care routine depending on fluctuating weather conditions throughout the seasons. Prepare for heavy rain or wintry conditions by ensuring proper drainage to reduce matting. Protect the turf during extremely high or low temperatures, taking measures to maintain your turf’s longevity. Read our cold weather guide for more tips and tricks. Annual professional maintenance is also suggested.
7. ENSURING SAFETY FOR PETS
Regularly check for sharp items or debris that could injure your pets while they play. Confirm the absence of toxic substances in fertilizers or pesticides that may be used in the nearby area. High-quality turf ensures a safe place for your pets to play, but it’s still good to be sure nothing dangerous ends up in your yard.
