Why Zeolite

For pet owners, odor is the whole game. Zeolite’s natural honeycomb structure captures the ammonia that causes urine smell, which is why it’s the infill of choice for dog areas — with some surface-cooling and drainage support as a bonus.

Neutralizes Pet Odor

A natural mineral that traps and helps neutralize the ammonia in pet urine — the source of that lingering smell.

Cools The Surface

Holds and releases moisture to support evaporative cooling, helping take the edge off hot artificial grass.

Drains & Supports Blades

Settles between the fibers to support drainage and surface stability like other infills.

Made For Dog Areas

How Zeolite Beats Pet Odor

Zeolite is a natural mineral (clinoptilolite) with a microscopic honeycomb structure — and that structure is what makes it the go-to infill for pet turf.

  • Tiny channels trap the ammonia in urine that causes odor
  • Holds and slowly releases moisture for surface cooling
  • Rinsing flushes what it captures so it keeps working
  • Drains and supports the turf blades like other infills

Zeolite vs Standard Infill

How zeolite compares to silica sand and our all-purpose Natural Blend Pro infill, so you can match infill to the job:

Infill Odor control Cooling Drainage Best for
Zeolite Strong — traps ammonia Yes — evaporative Good Pet areas, hot zones
Silica sand Minimal Limited Good General ballast / weight
Natural Blend Pro Supports management Supportive Good All-purpose base infill

Zeolite is often used as a top-dressing over a base infill rather than a full replacement. Not sure what your project needs? Compare Natural Blend Pro infill or ask us.

Where Zeolite Is Used

Dog runs & pet turf

The classic use — knock down urine odor where pets do their business.

Kennels

High-use animal areas that need ongoing odor control.

High-heat areas

Sunny zones where a little evaporative cooling helps.

Residential pet lawns

Backyards shared with dogs and kids.

Commercial pet facilities

Daycares, boarding, and vet spaces with heavy animal traffic.

How Much Zeolite Do I Need?

Zeolite is usually applied as a top-dressing layer, so the amount depends on the turf product, your square footage, and whether it’s going over a base infill. Run your project through our calculator for a planning estimate, and we’ll confirm the right quantity and bag count for pickup or delivery.

Zeolite Turf Infill FAQs

What is zeolite turf infill?

Zeolite is a natural mineral (clinoptilolite) with a microscopic honeycomb structure. Used as a turf infill, it’s brushed into artificial grass where it traps ammonia from pet urine and supports drainage and cooling.

Does zeolite stop pet and dog urine odor?

Zeolite is known for capturing the ammonia in urine that causes odor, which is why it’s the go-to infill for dog areas. It helps a lot, especially paired with routine rinsing — though no infill makes a heavy-use pet area completely maintenance-free.

Does zeolite cool artificial grass?

Zeolite holds moisture and releases it slowly, which supports evaporative cooling at the surface. It can help take the edge off on hot days, particularly after a light rinse, though it won’t make turf feel cold.

Zeolite vs silica sand vs Natural Blend Pro — which infill should I use?

Silica sand is a general-purpose ballast; Natural Blend Pro is our all-purpose performance infill; zeolite is the choice when pet odor (and some cooling) is the priority. Many pet installs use zeolite as a top-dressing over a base infill — we’ll help you pick the right combination.

Do I use zeolite alone or with another infill?

Zeolite is often used as a top-dressing layer over a primary infill rather than as a full replacement. The right setup depends on the turf and how the area is used — tell us about your project and we’ll recommend an approach.

How much zeolite do I need?

The amount depends on the turf product, the area, and whether zeolite is your top layer over a base infill. Run your square footage through our calculator for a planning estimate, and we’ll confirm the right quantity.

Estimate with the turf calculator
How long does zeolite last? Do I need to replace it?

Zeolite is durable and stays in the turf, though its odor-absorbing capacity benefits from periodic rinsing to flush captured ammonia. In heavy pet use, a refresh or top-up over time keeps it working its best.

Is zeolite safe for pets and kids?

Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral commonly used around pets. As with any infill, we’re happy to share product details so you can choose what you’re comfortable with for your family and animals.
