The best artificial turf for dogs
What makes turf work for pets: drainage, blade shape and easy cleaning.
Updated · By The Turf Factory
The short answer
Choose a turf with a fully permeable backing and a resilient, shorter blade. Our Premier Pet Flow 55 drains over 400 inches per hour and is built for dog runs and pet areas.
Drainage comes first
Pet urine needs to pass straight through the turf. Flow-series products use a fully permeable urethane backing that drains over 400 inches per hour, so the surface rinses clean instead of holding odor.
Pick a resilient blade
Dogs run, dig and lie in the same spots. A shorter, resilient S-blade like Premier Pet Flow 55 (1.25” pile) springs back and is easier to clean than a tall, soft lawn turf.

Keeping it fresh
A pet area takes a few minutes of care:
- Rinse. Hose down pet areas periodically.
- Pick up. Remove solid waste as you would on grass.
- Brush. Cross-brush high-traffic areas to limit matting.
