Why Train Your Pets to Use Artificial Grass for Dogs

The shift towards artificial grass for pets is growing in popularity for numerous reasons. Large dogs or rambunctious cats can damage the natural grass and landscaping of your yard if they are left unsupervised. Nowadays, many pet owners prefer artificial turf over natural options for maintenance, hygiene and safety purposes. If you have some rambunctious pets, it may be wise to train them to utilize artificial grass in order to reap the most benefits. At Echoing Green, we offer specialized pet turf that can withstand the claws of any of your pets. Contact us today for artificial grass in Toronto.

Cleanliness and Hygiene

One of the most common uses of artificial grass for pets is for animal-designated “bathroom zones.” If you have regular grass or stone in your backyard, you may have noticed that your pet uses the bathroom in any given space. This can cause cleanliness issues and hygiene concerns in your backyard while also compromising its appearance. Pet feces and pee cause odours in your backyard and can be difficult to remove from natural grass and stone. It can even stain tiles or stones in your yard. Pet feces can also spread bacteria throughout your backyard, contributing to illness. Teaching your pet how to use a designated patch of artificial grass will help contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment. 

Reduces Lawn Damage

By nature, dogs love to dig and play in the backyard. Although the behaviour is endearing, it can be rather destructive as well. If your pet digs up the ground in your backyard, you may be left with large holes and patches in the grass, which not only poses an aesthetic concern but a safety concern as well. Large holes in your backyard can be a tripping hazard. One of the main benefits of artificial grass is that it is entirely dig-proof, so even the most rambunctious dogs cannot damage it. Teaching your dogs how to adjust to artificial grass will help prevent them from trying to dig.
