The Only Artificial Grass Made By A Pet Product Company
If you are considering synthetic grass for your back yard and you share your life with dogs, you’ve come to the right place. Pup-Grass® is a proprietary artificial turf developed in 2004 by PupGear for use in the Pup-Head®, an award-winning portable indoor dog potty system. For the full story of how a pet product company became experts in artificial grass for dogs, read the Pup-Grass Story. I was working on a portable dog potty for one of our Floating Dog Ramp customers, and I needed a surface that would simulate grass. I thought artificial grass would be perfect — but it wasn’t. It didn’t drain fast enough, and that created other problems. What I needed was better drainage, a more realistic look, and something to inhibit the bacteria that cause odors. That kind of turf didn’t exist yet, so I made call after call to tufting mills and coating companies. By luck, I found a few seasoned turf professionals, and one company was amused enough by the idea of a portable dog potty to hear me out. I showed them my orders, and they realized I wasn’t just a dreamer — they agreed to look into what was possible.
After extensive research and development, the result was Pup-Grass® — an artificial grass that runs cooler than other fake turf, drains instantly, inhibits odor-causing bacteria, and looks beautiful while standing up to dozens of dogs running and playing. We sourced specialty yarn and a secondary backing material with built-in antimicrobial protection for easy clean-up, and after several test runs, we finally had the grass the the dog potty needed.
At the time, my goal was to supply my own company with the material I needed — I had no idea it would become a revolutionary, game-changing product. But customers who bought our Pup-Head Dog Potty started asking if they could buy our grass in larger quantities, and the rest is history.
Then a problem hit close to home and I was convinced that artificial grass was safer for my pups, when my dog Annie developed bladder cancer, I came to believe that the fertilizers and weed killers I’d used on my lawn had contributed to it.
Artificial grass never needs watering, mowing, fertilizing, or the weed killers and poisons required to keep a real lawn looking healthy year-round. You’ll never need to reseed or dethatch, and it will look realistic for years. Your fur kids will love our turf, and they will be safer because Pup-Grass® does not require any chemicals to keep it looking beautiful year round.
Pup-Grass® is a non-infill system that looks and feels like a real seeded lawn. While it doesn’t require infill to look full and natural, we recommend using Pup-Fresh™ — our brand of infill and the safest on the market. Made of 100% zeolite, an all-natural granular material from crushed volcanic rock, it works as the perfect infill while cutting the odor caused by ammonia in urine and keeping the fibers cooler. It contains no chemicals and is 100% safe for your dogs and kids.
PupGear created a lawn that balances ease of cleaning with safety and a realistic look and feel. If you want quality artificial turf from a company that loves dogs and understands the challenge of balancing beauty and practicality, give us a call at 1.844.781.PUPS.
The Coolest Artificial Turf Available
Most synthetic lawn companies won’t tell you that manufactured turf absorbs heat and gets extremely hot in direct sunlight. Pup-Grass® is 30% cooler than other synthetic lawns because our unique backing doesn’t trap heat — it lets heat dissipate instead. Pup-Grass® is perfect for backyards, home or boarding kennels, doggy daycares, dog runs, pet-friendly parks, and veterinary clinics.
DIY installation works over soil or concrete using Pup-Drain™.
