I will be living in desert climate and was told the turf can get hot and burn the dogs feet. is this true?
Just like real grass, artificial grass in direct sunlight can become warm under the dog's paws. We recommend watering the turf every hour or so during the hottest parts of the day to keep it cool. You can also add our Hydrochill infill to your turf to keep it cool all summer long. Once installed, all you would need to do is water the turf every so often to reap the benefits of this infill.
Was this helpful?My dogs eat grass. Will this hurt them if they eat some.
The turf blades on our Bow Wow Turf Rolls are tightly sewn together so the blades wouldn't easily come off when chewed on, but the material is nontoxic so wouldn't cause any harm to your dogs.
Was this helpful?I have 3 large dogs (two St. Berdoodles and one Golden Doodle). I'm wondering if I will get a lot of urine smell if I don't put down the drain tiles (which appear to be a large cost). Interested in how it has worked for both those who used the tiles and those who didn't.
Our Bow Wow Turf Rolls are permeable and will allow the urine to drain to the soil below. Typically you would install this over compacted crushed granite. This will help with drainage and also keep from destroying your turf when installed. So for this particular install, we would recommend removing the larger rocks before installing our Bow Wow Turf Rolls or any other artificial grass rolls. Our Zeolite Max is great as it is formulated to neutralize the smell from pet urine. This infill is recommended to be used under and on top of our turf as infill. This in conjunction with our Pet Fresh spray will help to keep our turf smelling fresh all day. The other infill we recommend is our Durafill. This infill is pet safe and helps to provide proper drainage for your turf. Not only will it help with drainage, but it will also help to keep your turf cooler than using rubber or silica sand infill. If you were to use our drainage tiles, these would be more of a barrier between urine and turf which could be a good thing since urine won't be directly under the turf. Our Rugged Grip-Loc tiles would be a good product if you do want to use drainage tiles under your turf.

The Bow Wow Turf Rolls are made in China.
Was this helpful?We live in a very mosquito-prone area and have our backyard treated for mosquitoes and ticks every 2-3 weeks. Would this affect the turf?
This should not negatively affect the turf.
Was this helpful?My dog digs under his kennel (sits on grass). Can he dig the turf up if under all corners of the kennel? TY
The turf could be dug up if not installed permanently. However, the instances of this happening are rare, and we have not heard from customers about this issue with artificial turf.
Was this helpful?Is there a nap to this product or can pieces be installed without regard to the direction it came in on the roll?
Typically, artificial grass rolls may have a slight nap to them as they have been tightly packed for a period of time. This nap will go away after a few weeks or months when the sun hits them and opens up the fibers. However, to get the lawn looking great from the start we recommend you to make sure the nap is running towards the best viewpoint e.g. If you are looking out on your lawn through your living room window, you would want to look into the pile of the grass and not the flat back.
Was this helpful?Does this turf stay cool when temperatures are over 85-90 degrees outside? thanks!
Like any other turf, these rolls will heat up under direct sunlight. However, adding Hydrochill infill to the turf will help to keep it cool all summer long. Once installed, all you would need to do is water the turf every so often to reap the benefits of this infill.
Was this helpful?How does this drain? I see other products with drain holes? How does it compare?
Our Bow Wow Turf Rolls are porous and provide superior drainage. You may look at the "backing" image on the product page to get an idea of its porosity.
Was this helpful?I have two dogs and one is very large 95 pounds and he likes to kick his rear legs very hard after he goes poop. Which turf grass would you recommend that would hold up to his kicking?
Our Bow Wow Turf Rolls would work for you since the grass blades are sewn tightly together so they won't come out when your dog kicks on it. Just make sure to install the turf correctly, so it is properly secured to the surface.
Was this helpful?Is this turf UV protected?
Yes, our Bow Wow Turf Rolls are UV protected and can be used indoors as well as outdoors.
Was this helpful?I have 3 lab dogs and their poop is usually a small bill sometimes mountains,, lol. What to do when on the turf ? Do I have to keep an area of regular ground for the pool ?
Your dogs can pee or poo on our Bow Wow Turf Rolls without it affecting the turf. To clean the turf rolls all you would need to do is pick up the poop and clean it by hosing it down or spraying it to make it smell better.
