Got a new puppy in the house? Congratulations! Dogs are such wonderful additions to the family— provided they learn how to be calm, well-rounded companions. One of the basic foundations for a well-trained dog is potty training, but it’s also one of the biggest challenges for many pet owners. Simplify the process with pet-friendly synthetic grass for dogs in Dallas!
How Synthetic Grass Makes Potty Training Easier
The unique properties that make pet turf such a safe, durable and low-maintenance choice for dogs also help with the potty-training process:
Efficient drainage system
Artificial grass in Dallas drains much better than soil at several gallons a minute. This means no urine puddles, and the liquid waste doesn’t stay long enough on the surface to create bad odors.
Easy Clean-Up
Since turf has such excellent drainage, it doesn’t take much to clean it up. For liquid wastes, spray the pee spot with a mild soap and water solution to rinse it out. Pick up solid wastes as usual and give the area a quick rinse to keep it sanitary and prevent unpleasant smells.
Looks and Feels Just Like Real Grass
Dogs tend to develop preferences for the surfaces they’ll use for the potty. If a dog would doing its business on natural grass, for instance, it can be very hard to switch them to another type of surface.
This is not a problem with puppies especially if you start them off on turf right off the bat. But if you’re re-training an older dog, you may be wondering how hard it will be to get them used to synthetic grass for dogs in Dallas. The answer is— they won’t even know the difference!
Top-quality grass looks and feels so much like real grass, even humans find it hard to distinguish one from the other. It’s much easier to transition dogs from natural grass to turf instead of starting over with a whole new surface.
Tough and Durable
Ever noticed how dogs like to trample and scratch at the ground before going potty? This habit will eventually wear down your lawn and create bare or dead patches. This will never happen with turf because it’s made of extremely durable materials.
It can withstand the weight of heavy outdoor furniture, constant foot traffic, and of course, anything your dog can throw at it.
Resistant to Lawn Burn
Pet urine has high concentrations of nitrogen. In small amounts, it functions like fertilizer for grass. But when areas of natural lawn are drenched several times a day with nitrogen-rich urine, it will eventually wither and die. This is called lawn burn and is a common issue among pet owners.
Since turf is not alive, no amount of nitrogen can damage it. Your dog can pee on your synthetic grass all they want, but you’ll still have a beautiful, lush lawn at the end of the day.
Owning a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have, and turf can make it hassle-free for both you and your furry friend. Explore your options for pet-friendly artificial grass installation in Dallas by Home Turf Dallas at 214-736-4736!
