Upstate Canine Academy is proud to offer the largest outdoor play area in the Albany and Saratoga regions with premium artificial turf. Unlike the artificial turf, you might find on a sports field, the pet turf in our Clifton Park dog daycare facility is specifically designed for dogs. It not only looks nicer year-round and is easier to maintain, but it’s actually better for your pets.
Why Doggy Daycare with Artificial Turf is Better for Your Dog
This specially designed surface is soft on dog paws and better for their joints, plus it’s cleaner and hypoallergenic, and it even reduces the risk of fleas and ticks.
Soft on Paws, Better for Joints
Concrete surfaces can be damaging to a dog’s paws and, as they age, running and playing on hard surfaces can lead to joint problems. Artificial pet turf provides a cushioned surface that is better for a dog’s joints, while heat-resistant fibers keep surface temperatures down and pet paws cool. Unlike other rigid or tough types of artificial turf, the blades of “grass” in our pet turf are specifically designed to be soft under the pads of your pup’s paws.
No More Mud & Dust
If you’re tired of giving your dog a bath after every daycare session, then you’re going to love our facility’s artificial turf! Without mud or dust, dogs stay clean. Plus, artificial turf is extremely resistant to digging, so you never have to worry about muddy paws. It also means the dogs in our daycare program are not confined indoors for hours or days after a storm. There’s no soil to dry, so dogs are free to play as soon as the skies are clear.
Safe & Hypoallergenic
Natural grass can leave some dogs itchy and cause redness and irritation. Dog daycare facilities with artificial turf are ideal for dogs with allergic sensitivities because they are hypoallergenic. Pet turf is also chemical-free, which means it is often safer for dogs than chemically-treated natural grass. The surface is also much easier to clean and disinfect, and drainage technology allows accidents to be hosed down, leaving a dry surface.
Eliminates Risk of Ticks & Fleas
Common pests, like fleas and ticks, thrive in natural grass, but not on artificial turf. These pests need soil, living matter, and cool, moist places to feed, grow and breed. Therefore, a dog daycare facility with artificial turf acts as a natural flea and tick repellent. Not only is there no dirt or living matter for the insects to live in, but the porous backing of pet turf quickly drains moisture so water doesn’t collect on the surface.
