      FAQs

      Dog safe grass seed refers to blends specifically formulated to be non-toxic and safe for pets. Choosing this type of seed ensures that your garden is a safe environment for your dogs to play and explore, without the risk of them ingesting harmful substances from the grass.

      Damage from dog urine is caused by high nitrogen content found in dog urine, which often causes yellow spots or burns in regular lawns. Whilst no grass seed type is completely resistant to damage from dog urine, a mixture containing perennial ryegrass will recover quicker from the damage.

      While no grass seed is entirely dog proof, certain mixes are designed to be more durable and capable of rapid recovery from wear and tear caused by dogs. These seeds create a robust lawn that can better withstand the physical activity of pets and recover quickly from any damage incurred.

      Dog tolerant lawn seed blends are composed of grass types that are specifically selected for their resilience to the stresses dogs can cause, such as running, digging, and urine damage. Utilising dog tolerant seeds benefits your garden by ensuring it remains healthy and attractive, even in areas of high pet activity.

      Preparing your garden involves clearing it of debris and weeds, loosening the soil to a depth of a few inches, and ensuring it is well-drained. This preparation provides the best foundation for the grass seed to take root and thrive, creating a durable and pet-friendly lawn.

      After sowing dog tolerant lawn seed, water the area lightly but consistently to keep the soil moist until germination occurs. Once the grass has established, you can reduce watering frequency but ensure the lawn does not become too dry, especially in hot weather.

      Maintaining a lawn sown with dog urine resistant seed involves regular mowing to encourage dense growth, watering deeply but less frequently to promote strong root development, and applying pet-safe lawn fertilisers to nourish the grass. Additionally, promptly watering down areas where your dog urinates can help dilute the nitrogen concentration and reduce damage.

      For a beautiful lawn that accommodates pets, look for grass seed options that combine aesthetics with durability. Seeds that grow into lush, dense grass, like tall fescue or a hardy blend of perennial ryegrass, are excellent choices. These not only withstand the wear from pets but also contribute to a visually appealing garden.

      After planting your seed for lawns, you can expect to see sprouts within a couple of days to a week, depending on the soil temperature and moisture levels. However, achieving a full, lush lawn may take a couple of weeks to a few months. Consistent care and appropriate watering will speed up this process.

      Yes, frequent watering can help dilute the nitrogen concentration in urine on grass, reducing the risk of urine spots and burns. Watering the affected area soon after your dog urinates can significantly mitigate damage, promoting a healthier, more resilient lawn.

      The ideal soil temperature for germinating most dog tolerant lawn seeds ranges from 10°C to 18°C. Seeds sown within this temperature range are likely to germinate more effectively, leading to quicker establishment and a healthy grass cover.
