Being pet owners ourselves, we know how important it is to create a safe, comfortable, and hygienic environment for your beloved animals to run around and relax on. That is why we have made K9 Bolt Pet Turf and K9 Sand - an ideal solution for your pet's artificial turf needs. In this blog post, we'll dive into the unique features of K9 Sand, which is the most environmentally safe and friendly turf infill on the market and offers a range of benefits for animals and their owners. Discover more below!

 

REDUCING URINE ODOR AND BACTERIA GROWTH

A major concern for people with pets when it comes to artificial grass is the smell of urine and bacterial growth. With K9 Sand, you can say goodbye to those worries. Our one-of-a-kind infill solution reduces the smell of urine by preventing the hydrolysis of ammonia, which is responsible for the awful odor (Figure 1).

K9 Sand stops the growth of bacteria thanks to its bacteria-killing properties. The great thing? K9 Sand achieves all of this without any added coatings — it's simply sourced from the ocean, cleaned, and sent to your door, making it 100% natural.

 

SUPERIOR DRAINAGE FOR A CLEAN AND TIDY TURF

We realize the value of maintaining a well-kept turf area for your furry friends. That's why our K9 Pet Turf is equipped with our exclusive innovative drainage technology, which offers superior drainage for rain, water, and pet urine (Figure 2).

The tiny voids in the drainage system deter water from collecting on top of the backing, ensuring a tidy turf surface 24/7. Say goodbye to standing water and unpleasant odors with K9 Pet Turf and its impressive drainage capabilities.

 

NON-TOXIC AND PET-SAFE

It's crucial that the infill in your artificial turf is safe for pets in case of accidental ingestion. With our pet-friendly artificial turf infill, you can have peace of mind knowing that it's non-toxic, containing no heavy metals or plastics. In fact, K9 Sand is made of a natural mineral found in many dietary supplements, which is commonly found in dietary supplements for both pets and humans alike. Your pet's well-being is our main priority, and K9 Sand meets the strictest safety standards for pet-friendly artificial turf.

 

COOL AND COMFORTABLE FOR YOUR PETS

Artificial turf for pets can get hot, especially during the warm season. But with K9 Sand, you don't have to worry about your pet's paws and feet getting too hot. Each particle of K9 Sand contains tiny holes that trap moisture, which is then dispersed as the surface temperature increases, providing cooling. As a result, K9 Sand helps keep the turf's temperature approximately 20 degrees cooler than standard turf infill, creating a cool and comfortable surface for your pets to enjoy.
