Description
Pet Elite Artificial Grass is an outstanding luxury range product. It is super dense, soft and looks great once fitted. The product utilises straight polyethylene and curled polypropylene micro-nerve fibres which provide the softness with resilience whilst also reducing glare and shine.
Like Pet Luxury 38mm, this product is also polyurethane backed meaning fluids are repelled and urine smells are not absorbed into the backing.
Firstly there is a difference between “Pet Friendly” and “Pet Specific”
Pet friendly is pretty much all artificial grass – why?, because against real grass and other landscape options, Artificial Grass does not stain (real grass goes yellow and even dies). And because Artificial Grass is porous, any liquids go through the product.
Artificial Grass is also soft on paws and when you compare to hard landscape alternatives such as stones, gravel etc (which can even damage pets paws) you can see that dogs and cats love to play, walk and run on Artificial Grass.
So nearly all Artificial Grasses, are “Pet Friendly” however….
Pet Specific
Regular Artificial Grass is made with latex to bond the backing. Two problems with this 1) Some dogs can be allergic to latex and can get a reaction. Not too great of a risk but still a concern for dog owners. 2) pets like to urinate in the same places. With a regular Artificial Grass, this means over time an area of latex will break down and disintegrate. One problem with this is pile retention, the pile will easily come out when the latex has disintegrated. It will also start to smell when the latex gets more and more absorbed with urine.
Pet Specific (for example polyurethane backings) use no latex and is totally synthetic. Therefore the product will not break down, the pile will be retained and the smell will be less (still needs to be washed regularly.). Also without the latex the issue there is less risk of an allergic reaction. So this makes the product “Pet Specific”. Also has an oval shape extrusion so does not have a spikey feeling on the paws.
The key difference is that it is polyurethane backed meaning fluids are repelled and therefore urine smells are not absorbed into the backing.
Colour wise – this product uses a mix of light and dark green fibres with a beige field-jute thatch which provides a really natural, dark green shade.
