Lifeproof with Petproof Technology Premium Pet Turf Green Artificial Grass Rug
Wait or request coating details; pet turf often uses PFAS-based water repellents.
Lifeproof's pet turf emphasizes water and stain resistance through undisclosed coatings. Artificial grass commonly relies on fluorocarbon treatments for durability, with no brand transparency or verification available.

What Lifeproof with Petproof Grass Rug is made of, ingredients and materials
This product is polyethylene (PE) synthetic turf with an undisclosed water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) and stain-resistant coating, almost certainly fluorochemical-based given the product category and LifeProof's track record. The PE backing and fibers themselves are relatively inert, but the coating is the safety variable. PE does not off-gas volatile organics at room temperature, but coating degradation or abrasion in high-traffic pet areas could release particles or coating residues over time.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Undisclosed water-repellent coating in pet turf almost certainly contains PFAS. Abrasion from pet claws, foot traffic, and water/urine exposure degrades coatings over time; particles and dissolved fluorochemicals can leach into soil or be ingested via pet grooming. This is graded separately but drives the 'care' verdict.
Source, ATSDR ↗Microplastic shedding from backing and fibers
PE fibers and backing can degrade or fray, especially in high-traffic or high-UV outdoor settings. Pet claws and heavy use accelerate fiber breakage. Microplastics from synthetic turf are documented in environmental and health literature; indoor or pet-ingestion exposure is a secondary concern.
Coating degradation and particulate release
Synthetic turf coatings are designed to weather but will crack, flake, or shed under UV, thermal stress, and abrasion. Degraded coating particles may contain concentrated fluorochemical residues. No specific recalls exist for LifeProof turf, but coating failure is a known mode of failure in the category.
What’s reassuring
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from adhesives or backing
PE itself does not off-gas; however, adhesives used to bond backing or install the turf may contain low levels of VOCs. No public reports of off-gassing complaints or measurements for this product exist. Outdoor installation and ventilation minimize exposure.
Heavy metals
LifeProof's product description does not specify whether rubber infill is included. If present, recycled rubber infill can contain trace lead or zinc. No test data or warnings are available for this specific product.

The brand's record and disclosure
LifeProof (owned by Mohawk Industries) has been silent on PFAS content in its synthetic flooring and turf products despite industry pressure for transparency. The brand does not list certifications like OEKO-TEX, GreenGuard, or STANDARD 100 for this product, and material safety data sheets for the coating are not publicly available. No recalls or safety warnings specific to this product have been recorded, but the lack of proactive disclosure is a compliance and transparency red flag.
How it compares in its category
Pet turf products universally use water-repellent coatings to handle urine and liquids; most do not disclose PFAS use. LifeProof's 'Petproof' line is marketed as premium and stain-resistant, which typically correlates with stronger fluorochemical treatment. Competitors like EasyLawn or some natural-fiber alternatives (coconut coir, rubber infill) avoid or minimize PFAS, though they may sacrifice durability for pets. This product's opacity on coating chemistry places it mid-range in transparency relative to the sector.
If you buy it
Use this product outdoors or in well-ventilated spaces rather than enclosed bedrooms or children's play zones. Rinse it regularly with water to minimize pet urine accumulation and coating stress. Inspect fibers and backing for wear, tearing, or loose particles annually; replace sections showing degradation to prevent microfiber or coating fragment inhalation. Do not use indoors without first requesting a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from LifeProof confirming coating composition and PFAS absence or concentration limits.
