Of course, if your dog is going to pee, it is also going to poo. The best way to maintain your pet turf is to try and scoop up and dispose of your dog’s feces right away. The sooner you scoop the poop, the easier it is to clean. 

We recommend taking a couple of seconds to hose down the affected area for large animals to ensure no residual bacteria is still lingering. 

If you get busy or forget to scoop up your dog’s poop for a couple of days or longer, it won’t be as easy to clean up after your pet. This is true for both natural and artificial grass. 

At Fieldmaster, we sell Pet Turf that is specially designed to withstand your animal’s daily activities. Our artificial grass for pets has a high-quality urethane backing mimicking the way natural grass would drain rainwater. Your dog can pee as he pleases on the artificial grass, and our pet turf effortlessly drains the liquid so that no lingering odours occur. 

During a consultation with a member of the Feildmasters Team, make sure to mention that you have pets. We can help recommend the perfect artificial grass for animals and add a turf deodorizer or a membrane installed between the turf and ground to offer more airflow.
