Pet-Friendly Synthetic Turf
Your pet will love it and so will you!
A.J. Kraig installs Plush Pet synthetic turf — a soft, durable, and easy-to-clean surface designed specifically for dogs and cats. Advanced drainage, antimicrobial infill, and tough polyethylene fibers mean a cleaner yard for your family and a safer play space for your pets.
The Best Yard for Your Best Friend
If you are a pet owner in Northeast Ohio, you know the struggle: muddy paws after every rainstorm, dead grass patches from dog waste, brown spots that never grow back, and a yard that looks worn out no matter what you do.
Plush Pet synthetic turf solves every one of these problems. The soft polyethylene fibers are gentle on paws and comfortable for dogs to run, play, and rest on. The perforated backing drains liquids instantly, and the antimicrobial infill prevents bacteria buildup and odors.
Your dog gets a safe, clean play surface year-round. You get a beautiful green yard without the constant maintenance. No more muddy paw prints tracked through your house, no more dead grass, and no more weekends spent reseeding and patching.
Why Pet Owners Choose Synthetic Turf
Six reasons Plush Pet turf is the best investment you can make for your yard and your pets.
Clean & Mud-Free
No more muddy paw prints tracked through your home. Plush Pet turf stays clean and dry even after heavy rain, eliminating the mess that comes with natural grass in Ohio's wet seasons.
Drainage & Odor Control
The perforated backing drains liquids at over 30 inches per hour — far faster than natural soil. Antimicrobial infill neutralizes bacteria and prevents odor buildup between cleanings.
Durable
Built to withstand heavy use from active dogs. The tough polyethylene fibers resist tearing, matting, and wear even in high-traffic areas where dogs run, dig, and play every day.
Low Maintenance
Pick up solid waste and rinse with a garden hose — that is all the maintenance required. No reseeding bare patches, no fertilizing, no fighting to keep the grass alive under heavy pet use.
Safe & Allergy-Friendly
Lead-free, non-toxic, and free from the pesticides and fertilizers that natural lawns require. The soft surface is gentle on paws, noses, and bellies — and eliminates grass allergies for sensitive pets.
Pest-Free
Synthetic turf does not attract fleas, ticks, or other lawn pests. Your pet can play outside without the risk of picking up parasites that thrive in natural grass and soil.
Plush Pet — Engineered for Pet Owners
Plush Pet is our specialty turf product designed from the ground up for households with dogs and cats. Every aspect of this turf — from the fiber material to the backing system to the infill — is chosen specifically for pet performance.
The soft polyethylene fibers are gentle enough for sensitive paws yet tough enough to handle daily play from even the most active breeds. The dual-layer perforated backing allows urine and water to drain through instantly, keeping the surface dry and preventing puddles or standing water.
The antimicrobial infill layer actively inhibits bacterial growth between the turf fibers, which is the primary cause of odor in pet areas. A simple rinse with a garden hose is all you need to keep the surface fresh and sanitary.

Happy Pets, Happy Owners
"We have two golden retrievers and our backyard was destroyed every spring. A.J. Kraig installed pet turf in the side yard and it has been a game changer. No more mud, no more dead grass, and the dogs love running on it."
"I was worried about odor with synthetic turf and dogs, but the drainage is incredible. We rinse it once a week and it stays completely fresh. Best yard upgrade we have ever made."
Pet Turf Questions
Pick up solid waste as you normally would, then rinse the area with a garden hose. The perforated backing drains liquids at over 30 inches per hour, so the surface dries quickly. The antimicrobial infill handles bacteria between cleanings. For deeper cleaning, you can spray with a turf-safe enzyme cleaner once a month, but most pet owners find a weekly hose rinse is all that is needed.
Plush Pet turf is significantly more dig-resistant than natural grass. The turf is installed over a compacted aggregate base and secured with landscape spikes around the perimeter. While a very determined digger may scratch at the edges, the turf surface itself is extremely difficult for dogs to damage. Most digging behavior decreases once dogs realize the surface is different from soil.
Yes. All of our turf products are lead-free, non-toxic, and meet ASTM safety standards. The Plush Pet product uses a soft polyethylene fiber that is gentle on sensitive puppy paws, and the antimicrobial infill ensures the surface stays sanitary. There are no pesticides, fertilizers, or chemical treatments to worry about — making it safer than most natural lawns.
Pet turf installation typically costs between $8 and $14 per square foot, depending on the area size and site preparation required. A typical dog run or side yard (200 to 500 square feet) usually ranges from $2,500 to $7,000 installed. We provide free, no-obligation estimates and can design a solution that fits your budget and your pet's needs.
Not when properly installed and maintained. Our Plush Pet turf includes antimicrobial infill that actively inhibits the bacteria responsible for odor. The perforated backing drains liquids rapidly so nothing pools on the surface. With regular rinsing — a garden hose once a week — there should be no noticeable odor. This is a significant improvement over natural grass, where urine saturates the soil and creates persistent odor problems.
Absolutely. Pet turf is ideal for dedicated dog runs, kennel areas, side yards, and small enclosed spaces. In fact, these are some of the most popular installations we do. The turf is cut to fit any shape and size, and the compact base system works well even in narrow or irregularly shaped areas. Smaller installations are also very affordable.
