Turf Animal was born from decades of hands-on industry experience and a shared commitment to creating cleaner, safer outdoor environments.

Nick Ogilvie, a pioneer in the artificial turf industry with over 20 years of experience, saw the growing need for an eco-friendly, effective solution to turf odors. As the author of Installing and Understanding Artificial Turf, Nick’s knowledge runs deep—and so does his passion for sustainable innovation. He started Turf Animal to fill a critical gap in the market with a product that actually works without harming people, pets, or the planet.

Chase Dowling, owner of VibraShield and a leader in turf protection technology, shares that same passion. Known for his dedication to keeping artificial turf systems safe and long-lasting, Chase knew that a live enzyme cleaner like Turf Animal would be the perfect complement to his mission. For him, having a kid-safe and pet-safe product wasn’t just a feature—it was a requirement.

Together, Nick and Chase lead an American-based team proudly operating out of Texas, united by the belief that turf care should be tough on odor, but gentle on what matters most.
