That is why we've created K9 Bolt Pet Turf and K9 Sand - an ideal solution for your pet's synthetic grass needs. In this blog post, we will delve into the distinctive features of K9 Sand, which is the most eco-conscious turf infill on the market and offers a range of advantages for animals and their owners.

REDUCING URINE ODOR AND BACTERIA GROWTH

A major concern for people with pets when it comes to synthetic turf is the smell of urine and bacterial growth. With K9 Sand, you can eliminate those worries. Our distinctive infill solution lessens the smell of urine by preventing the breakdown of ammonia, which is responsible for the unpleasant odor (Figure 1).

K9 Sand inhibits the growth of bacteria thanks to its anti-microbial properties. The most amazing feature? K9 Sand achieves all of this without any artificial coatings — it's simply extracted from the ocean, filtered, and delivered to your door, making it 100% natural.

 

SUPERIOR DRAINAGE FOR A CLEAN AND TIDY TURF

We understand the critical role of maintaining a neat turf surface for your furry friends. That's why our K9 Pet Turf is equipped with our exclusive Flow-Through Drainage System, which offers outstanding drainage for rain, water, and dog urine (Figure 2).

The small voids in the drainage system deter moisture from collecting on top of the backing, ensuring a tidy turf surface around the clock. Say goodbye to pooled water and unpleasant odors with K9 Pet Turf and its superior drainage capabilities.

 

NON-TOXIC AND PET-SAFE

It's important that the infill in your artificial turf is non-toxic in case of accidental ingestion. With our infill, you can have confidence knowing that it's not harmful if ingested, containing only pet-friendly ingredients. In fact, K9 Sand is made of calcium carbonate, which is commonly found in dietary supplements for both pets and humans alike. Your pet's safety is our main focus, and K9 Sand meets the highest standards for pet-friendly artificial turf.

 

COOL AND COMFORTABLE FOR YOUR PETS

Artificial turf for pets can become hot, especially during the summer months. But with K9 Sand, you don't have to worry about your pet's feet getting painfully hot. Each particle of K9 Sand contains micro-pores that trap water, 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 degrees cooler than standard turf infill, creating a refreshing and comfortable surface for your pets to have fun on.
