We love helping other dog owners to become informed about the distinctions of synthetic grass—specifically Pup-Grass®, an artificial grass designed exclusively for dogs to relieve themselves. Pup-Grass® was created by a dog owner who is unapologetically about being a little OCD when it comes to her dogs and keeping their space clean, Pup-Grass® was developed out of real-world necessity, not marketing trends. Most “dog turf” on the market is simply standard landscape grass rebranded for pets as an afterthought. Pup-Grass®, by contrast, was engineered from the ground up around how dogs actually live, play, and potty. We invite you to explore our site, and if you’d like more information about our products or services, there are multiple ways to reach us—we’re always happy to help.

Dogs spend their entire lives with their noses inches from the ground. We take that responsibility seriously.
Dogs walk with their noses to the ground because that’s how they collect information about the world around them. While humans rely mostly on sight and sound, dogs rely on scent. We can walk into a room and instantly understand who is there, what the mood is, and whether the environment feels safe. Dogs do the same thing, but instead of using their eyes and ears, they use their extraordinary sense of smell. A dog’s nose is one of the most powerful biological tools in nature. Humans have around 6 million olfactory receptors, while dogs have up to 100–300 million, depending on the breed. Even more impressive, the part of a dog’s brain dedicated to analyzing scents is proportionally 40 times larger than ours. When your dog is exploring the yard with their nose to the ground, they’re “reading” detailed information almost instantly — who passed by, their emotional state, their health, and even their diet or stress level. It’s often called “scent socializing,” and for dogs, it’s as natural and essential as checking messages is for us.
Designed for Health
Everything they sniff gets pulled deep into that highly sensitive system.
When lawns, yards, or patios are treated with pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, or other harsh chemicals, dogs inhale these toxins directly at the source. Their natural behavior — sniffing close to the ground — makes them far more vulnerable than humans. What we barely notice, they inhale in concentrated doses. This is why creating a safe, chemical-free environment is so important. A dog’s powerful sense of smell is one of their greatest strengths — but when the ground is contaminated, it becomes a hidden health risk. Pup-Grass® was designed specifically to protect dogs during this natural behavior, giving them a clean, non-toxic surface to sniff, explore, and enjoy without exposure to harmful lawn treatments.
The Problem with “Pet-Friendly” Turf
Most companies use punched holes in urethane backing and call it “pet-friendly.” That design was created to drain rainwater – and it does that fine. But here’s what they don’t tell you When it’s not raining, urine gets trapped in those holes. Bacteria grows. Odors build up. And no amount of rinsing will fix it because the urine is trapped underneath. We don’t apologize for being perfectionists. We understand that preparing the base for the Pup-Grass installation is the foundation of how the finished product looks and performs. We follow the recommendations from the Synthetic Turf Council , which includes seaming, stretching and nailing. Wrinkles in your installation will ruin the look.
What Makes Pup-Grass® Unique
Instant Drainage Across the Entire Surface. Our proprietary flow-through backing lets liquids drain immediately everywhere – not just at hole locations. This prevents the trapped urine and bacterial growth that causes permanent odors in other products.Built-in antibacterial protection helps reduce odor-causing bacteria naturally. Your nose will thank you.
No Nylon – Ever
Other brands use nylon because it was the only yarn available when artificial grass first entered the market place. But nylon absorbs urine like a sponge. Pup-Grass® uses a proprietary PE and PP blend that repels liquids instead of absorbing them.
