What's the fix for a yard that smells worse every week no matter how often you hose it down? Dry desert heat makes pet odor worse, not better, when drainage and infill aren't built for it. Phoenix Artificial Turf Pros installs a turf system with a high-flow base and antimicrobial infill designed specifically for dogs.

This isn't a standard turf swap. The base drainage layer and backing both work together to move waste off the surface before it has a chance to sit and bake in the sun.

FAQs

Pet Turf FAQs

What infill is best for pet turf odor control?

Antimicrobial or zeolite-based infill is the standard choice. Both resist bacteria growth that causes lingering odor in dry heat.

Does pet turf need special drainage?

Yes. A high-flow base layer moves liquid waste away faster than standard turf installs.

How long does pet turf actually last with dogs?

Pet-rated turf with proper drainage typically holds up for years of daily use before infill or backing needs attention.

Can pet turf handle multiple dogs?

With extra infill depth and a properly sloped drainage base, multi-dog households are common installs.

Is pet turf safe if dogs dig?

Reinforced seam tape and backing hold up to normal digging better than standard residential turf.
