[wpdreams_ajaxsearchlite]



We know you have dogs! Who doesn’t? “A dog is a man’s best friend” as they say, and we know you also want the best for your furry friend. Having a lawn can be your (and your dog’s) dream. We know it is important for you to have a yard with the best grass for your dogs.

The grass is an excellent ground cover for dogs because it is soft and doesn’t harm them (considering you mow it regularly). However, not all types of grass can be your dog’s “next best friend.” There are types of grass that cannot be harmed by urine, while others can withstand heavy traffic. But we want you to choose the best grass for your dog without compromising anything.

Bermuda

Bermuda is the best choice of grass for your dogs those who live in warmer climates. What’s fantastic with this grass is that it can tolerate a lot of sun, but it doesn’t require that much water.

Moreover, Bermuda can also regenerate quickly.

However, Bermuda tends to become dormant during colder seasons when temperatures drop to 55 degrees. Not to worry because it will come back to life once warmer seasons return.
