If the dogs use it for a toilet, I think you will have a sinking mess. There is always urine and waste left on the grass after you pick up the poop, but it sinks into the ground with real grass. I think dying grass would be a better alternative.

I've had the K9 Artificial grass in my backyard for 6 years now. I posted photos in the other thread. It's been fantastic. I have three mastiffs, and believe me in 6 years that lawn has seen a few thousand gallons of urine and more than it's share of poop and there is no smell, no "stinking mess" at all. Rake up the poo and maybe once in a while, spray it down with a hose, if there's no natural rain to rinse it. It doesn't hold in heat and the dogs haven't damaged it at all.

ditto on what mwkbear said. I have 2 great danes and have had fantastic results with my artificial turf. I purchased from SGW Artificial Grass. The success of artificial grass is highly dependent on the installation in my opinion. The prep work under the turf is what keeps it draining well. I also have pics on that older thread.

Anyone else? So is K9 Grass really the best company for dog comfort, draining and odor control, durability and aesthetic appeal?

I am researching artificial turf for dogs, anyone else have product recommendations?
