Some of the best ways to monitor your pets\u2019 health during periods of excessive heat are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep pets well hydrated and water bottles\/bowls topped up with cold water.<\/li><li>Monitor the amount of time they spend outdoors in excessive sunlight.<\/li><li>Make frozen treats by freezing their favourite snack in an ice cube.<\/li><li>Ensure there is sufficient shade for them to rest in if they get too warm.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping Artificial Grass Cool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artificial grass, like any conductive surface, will warm up on the summer days and if exposed to heightened sun for an extended period, the surface may become too hot for your pets\u2019 paws to handle comfortably. The same can be said for toddlers and small children if playing outside for long periods of time, but this shouldn\u2019t limit their playtime! We\u2019ve put together some of the easiest solutions below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If your grass gets to hot the fastest way to cool down the entire site is saturating it with a garden hose or large watering can.<\/li><li>Ensure there is sufficient shade for children and pets to rest in when they start to get warm, setting up a parasol or awning is ideal.<\/li><li>Laying down a blanket for children to sit and play on provides a cool surface between their skin and the grass, this is also perfect for outdoor dining!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have pets, it\u2019s important that you keep up with your artificial grass maintenance, especially in the summer months! Insufficient maintenance will result in a build-up of harmful bacteria and toxic ammonia left behind by pet waste, if left to fester this becomes impossible to remove. Check out our store for all your pet friendly cleaning products! Although, we do offer a professional maintenance service if you\u2019d rather put your feet up and relax!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With summer edging ever closer and temperatures rising slowly but surely across the UK, we know more and more of our customers will be heading outside to enjoy their luscious artificial lawns.
