Turf and Pets: What to Know

Key takeaways

  • Pet turf drains and rinses clean
  • Odor control comes from drainage, infill and cleaning
  • A rinse and an enzyme cleaner handle most smells
  • Tell your installer about every dog and every habit

Most dog owners who choose turf do it to get rid of mud and holes.

Drainage first

Pet turf has a perforated backing and sits on an open base, so liquids drain away instead of pooling.

Cleaning routine

Pick up solids, rinse the area with a hose and use a pet-safe enzyme cleaner now and then.

Infill matters

Some infills are made for pet areas and resist odor. Ask which one is in your turf.

Know your dog

If your dog digs, tell the installer so extra edging and fastening can be added.
