Pet 40mm Sample

Pet 40mm is a really nice looking grass which has a polyurethane backing meaning fluids are repelled and urine smells are not absorbed into the backing.

Firstly there is a difference between “Pet Friendly” and “Pet Specific”

Pet friendly is pretty much all artificial grass – why?, because against real grass and other landscape options, Arificial Grass does not stain (real grass goes yellow and even dies). And because Artificial Grass is porous, any liquids go through the product.

Artificial Grass is also soft on paws and when you compare to hard landscape alternatives such as stones, gravel etc (which can even damage pets paws) you can see that dogs and cats love to play, walk and run on Artificial Grass.

So nearly all Artificial Grasses,  are “Pet Friendly” however....

Now to “Pet Specific”.

Regular Artificial Grass is made with latex to bond the backing. Two problems with this 1) Some dogs can be allergic to latex and can get a reaction.  Not too great of a risk but still a concern for dog owners. 2) pets like to urinate in the same places. With a regular Artificial Grass, this means over time an area of latex will break down and disintegrate.  One problem with this is pile retention, the pile will easily come out when the latex has disintegrated.  It will also start to smell when the latex gets more and more absorbed with urine.

Pet Specific (for example polyurethane backings) use no latex and is totally synthetic. Therefore the product will not break down, the pile will be retained and the smell will be less (still needs to be washed regularly.).  Also without the latex the issue there is less risk of an allergic reaction.  So this makes the product “Pet Specific”.  Also has an oval shape extrusion so does not have a spikey feeling on the paws.

The key difference is that it is polyurethane backed meaning fluids are repelled and therefore urine smells are not absorbed into the backing.

Colourwise- this product uses a mix of light and dark green fibres with a beige field-jute thatch which provides a really natural, dark green shade.

Pet 40mm is quality manufactured and meets stringent EU quality requirements. This really will make your garden look a million dollars as well as making life so much easier as a pet owner.

When joining, please ensure that the pile direction runs the same way, otherwise it will look as though two different grasses have been laid.

A weed membrane is required for all artificial grass installations. With pet specific grasses we recommend laying this under the hardcore lower down not directly before the grass.
