Pet Friendly Grass Seed

Grass Seed for Pets, Dogs & Cats

All our Jubilee Seeds grass mixes are non-toxic for pets – though we do urge caution with the seed itself while sowing because small seeds can get stuck in places they shouldn’t like ears, eyes and nostrils.

When it comes to choosing a grass blend that is best suited to being used by pets, the first consideration is probably to choose hardwearing grass seed mixtures, particularly with frisky young dogs. You’ll find some options in this category that contain perennial ryegrass and fescue which stand up to hard use. This combination of grasses is also good at withstanding urine stains.

With pets like rabbits and guinea pigs you can give them a tasty treat at the same time as planting a durable green covering in the form of clover grass.
When choosing a grass seed mix for your pet-friendly lawn you also need to take into account the type of soil and shade cover you are dealing with.
Browse through this category of the grasses we suggest to grow a lawn that you can enjoy with your four-footed friends. All are available to order online for quick delivery to any destination in the UK.

Clover Lawn FAQS

General Information about Clover Lawns:

Is a Clover Lawn easy to maintain?

If you fancy the idea of cutting down on lawn maintenance and turning your grass sward into an eco-friendly zone. A lawn of clover plant provides a distinctive, yet appealing appearance and can be an alternative to a traditional, thirsty and labour-intensive monoculture grass lawn. As well as needing less water, they don’t need much fertiliser if any at all.

Is clover a good alternative to grass?

Clover lawns are incredibly bee friendly as they promote a valuable environment for pollination. Also, clovers can be enjoyed by grazing animals, with the protein-containing edible leaves and round heads of flowers making a good meal for grazers. It’s soft to walk on but it means that clover seeded lawns are not best recommended for lawns which receive high footfall traffic, so not advised for a garden used for playing sport.

Are Clover lawns good for people with allergies?

For people with allergies to grass, the clover seed can create a beautiful hypoallergenic lawn, allowing you to spend more time in the garden. Pollen isn’t present in a clover grass unless the lawn is allowed to flower and bloom. This can be managed with regular mowing as you would traditionally grass lawns. A 100% clover lawn means that allergy sufferers can spend more time out in the garden without having to endure runny noses and itchy eyes.

Will a clover lawn attract a lot of bees?

Yes, when left to bloom Clover flowers attract bees. If you have concerns about bee stings, especially if you have young children or pets who spend a lot of time on the lawn, this is something to consider. However, maintaining a regularly mown clover lawn can reduce flowering.

How long does a clover lawn last?

A well-established clover lawn can last for many years, often longer than a traditional grass lawn, especially with minimal maintenance. Clover is a perennial, meaning it comes back year after year.
