REDUCING URINE ODOR AND BACTERIA GROWTH

One of the biggest concerns for pet owners when it comes to artificial grass is the smell of urine and bacterial growth. With K9 Sand, you can wave farewell to those worries. Our exclusive infill solution diminishes the smell of urine by preventing the breakdown of ammonia, which is responsible for the awful odor (Figure 1).

K9 Sand prevents the growth of bacteria thanks to its germ-fighting properties. The great thing? K9 Sand achieves all of this without any chemicals — it's simply extracted from the ocean, cleaned, and delivered to your door, making it 100% natural.

 

SUPERIOR DRAINAGE FOR A CLEAN AND TIDY TURF

We recognize the importance of maintaining a tidy turf surface for your four-legged companions. That's why our K9 Pet Turf is equipped with our exclusive Flow-Through Drainage System, which offers top-notch drainage for rain, water, and pet urine (Figure 2).

The tiny voids in the drainage system deter moisture from collecting on top of the backing, ensuring a tidy turf surface all the time. Say goodbye to stagnant water and unpleasant odors with K9 Pet Turf and its impressive drainage capabilities.

 

NON-TOXIC AND PET-SAFE

It's essential that the infill in your artificial turf is non-toxic in case of your pet chews on it. With our infill, you can have assurance knowing that it's safe for pets, containing only natural minerals and elements. In fact, K9 Sand is made of calcium carbonate, which is perfectly safe for your pet to ingest. Your pet's safety is our main priority, and K9 Sand meets the strictest safety standards for pet-friendly artificial turf.

 

COOL AND COMFORTABLE FOR YOUR PETS

Artificial turf for pets can get hot, especially during the warm season. But with K9 Sand, you don't have to worry about your pet's feet getting too hot. Each grain of K9 Sand contains micro-pores that trap moisture, which is then released as the surface temperature goes up, providing evaporative. As a result, K9 Sand helps keep the turf's surface temperature approximately 20°F cooler than standard turf infill, creating a cool and comfortable surface for your pets to have fun on.
