“Incorporating natural elements into our dog daycare playground sets our facilities apart by creating a more engaging and enriching environment for the dogs.”, says Teri Jo. “Natural surfaces like real grass, trees or natural obstacles provide sensory stimulation and variety contributing to the overall well-being of the dogs. Natura turf allows the real grass to grow through and provide that natural surface while protecting the roots from high traffic.  Ultimately offering natural services enhances the quality of the dogs experiences and differentiates our daycare.”

“Investing in Natura turf for our dog daycare play yards enhances the overall experience for both dogs and their owners.”, Teri Jo continues, “It provides a clean and safe environment, reduces mud and germs and creates a comfortable space for dogs to play and socialize in. Additionally, a well-maintained play area contributes to the positive reputation of our dog daycare.”

Natura has been installed at Smoken Dakota Kennels (SDK) for nearly 2 years now and Teri Jo and her pups are still as happy as they were the day they transformed their dog yard without sacrificing the enrichment that the dogs need and deserve. SDK is situated in the southeast corner of South Dakota where they receive about 30” of rain and another 30” of snowfall each year. Additionally, temperatures range from near 0˙ to highs in the 80’s in the summer. Natura allows them to use their outdoor spaces regardless of the temperature and it remains there as a mud barrier from the thaws of the winter through the summer storms that roll across the plains.
