Potty Patch
 

Has anyone seen this advertisement? Has anyone tried this product? Just currious. It has an interesting concept. :animal36

Yes, I've seen it a couple times and think it great, however, not
sure about emptying out the bottom daily. How would you carry it
without it spilling. I thought about it for the winter months but not
sure Buddy would get the knack of using it.
Thought about putting it on my deck but then again does urine
freeze? It's getting so hard to walk on ice with him.
Would like other's views on this as well.

I have the doggiepotty.com (large size) and I love it and so does Roxy, but TJ is my 'bad' pee'er. He is so good at being p-trained. He will only pee on the pads or outside, BUT when I have either the liter boxes w/pee pads or the grass setup, sometimes he gets lazy and pees down the side of it....

So with the doggiepotty.com one, while me and Roxy love it, it is raised a tiny bit, making it more likely for TJ to lift his leg and pee down the side. It is a shame too, bc I spent like $180 on it and it is wrapped and put away...

So, then I bought some doggie turf online and 2 flat plastic trays. Works just the same, but lower to the ground. I still put the pee pads under the grass to absorb the pee AND since TJ can and will pee on the edge, I have a piece of linoleum on the wood floors, then a whole bunch of pee pads and then the grass system. I wish he would stop peeing on the side, but he is 4.5 ys and I doubt he will stop it any time soon, so I have to take the extra precautions.

I did order the Potty Patch for my sis. She just gave it to me, bc her hubby doesn't want it :rolleyes: But that's ok, I did pay for it and I'll use it (it is a good size and is closer to the ground like my make shift systems :p

LOL Nicole seems like you've covered all the basis.

Buddy is completey house broken, thankfully never any
accidents. When I saw the potty patch on TV I immediately
thought of the deck and training him to go out there in icey
weather. I don't know he if would even use it, it was a thought.
I wouldn't want to undo his going out all the time but only
in icey weather would I use it. Do you think he would take to it
without causing problems?

It's hard to say...

Mine were pee pad trained and I introduced the grass last year when they were 3.5 yrs old. Roxy LOVES it as she is my MAD MARKER (outside) - this grass inside is such a TREAT for her (go figure). TJ still isn't sold on it. Although, he walks kinds funny on real grass too, so maybe he just doesn't care for any grass feel.

You can search online and just get a piece of clearance or odd cut pieces of doggie turf for cheap if you are just going to use it outside in the winter :)

Hmmmm interesting, thanks Nicole.

I have a neighbor who uses real turff on her deck for her Yorkie.
Said she changes it about three times a summer:confused: I would think
it would have an order to it.
I told her about the potty patch.
My deck is decorated in the summer months but the winter
months it's bare. I am just afraid of undoing a good thing.
Have to think about this but think it's great for those little
ones who use pee pads. Commercial looks easy enough if
you have a pet that cooperates.

What's the diff between doggie turf and maybe one of those grassy looking door mats you can buy? I've been thinking about this for Roxie for the garage in winter or on wet rainy days. I was going to create my own since they are so expensive to buy.

Just make sure if you buy a piece that it has a plastic or rubber bottom. Some of them have fabric bottoms, and also it is nice when they have the holes so the pee goes through. I found some at lowes but it is a special order.

Thank you, I'll check around. I like the expensive boxes you can buy with the dip in the front to get in and out easily. I just can't spend that much on a plastic box with grass in it right now. Any suggestions for that besides a cat litter box?

This is the tray I bought:
White High Impact Styrene Tray - US Plastic Corporation

I put 1.5 pee pads inside and tucked, then I lay the grass ontop.

Thank you very much!! That is so cool. Guess what me and hubby are going to put together this weekend? hehe!

I got my litter box like the one they sell at Petsmart for $20+ for $12 at Walmart. I don't really want to spend $80 on a set up either...maybe $40 but $80 is way to much for something I can put together. I plan on getting the grass off the site posted or Lowe's and getting some of the grate to hold it up in the litter box. :)

I have it! I bought it to train my puppies on! I'm a believer! I'm amazed at how well they are doing with it! I think it's better than pee pads as it looks and feels different so they haven't gone on my rug at all thinking that it's a pee pad. At 6 weeks old, loose in my living room, they go over to the grass and go there. I think maybe they are exceptionally smart as well! :p

If I could I'd buy that electric self cleaning litter box for my cats. The one for the dogs would be worth 80 bucks if it was self cleaning too!! lol!

I have a puphead and it works the very same way. I also use pee pads under the grass and change them daily. It's been a godsend for us. Especially during our harsh winters.

Checking it out!
 

:aimeeyork:aimeeyork:aimeeyork I have never heard of it before...kinda sounds like to kitty litter box in a way. I'm checking it out.... My babies need help with this potty thing...mostly Prince:aimeeyork:aimeeyork:aimeeyork

Got mine a while back. Didn't take long at all and I think it's great!

I am thinking of getting one for Pixie who refuses to use pee pads and will either go outside on grass when she feels like it or on the bathroom throw rug. I read some reviews and it said they were very delayed in shipping them out many people never got them so I have been afraid to order. But if people on here are getting them then I may take my chances.

Yes I read them too, but I also read why the company took so long (early stages of production, etc...)

I ordered one and it took approx. 3 weeks :thumbup:

This one is only $40 https://www.ontvdirect.com/pottypatc...!&refcode=otw1

Does anyone have this particular one? I would gladly pay $40 to try it and a lot more if I knew they would use it. Just hesitant to pay over $100 for the unknown.

This is the one we are all talking about. With shipping it comes to just under $50 and it is made pretty well, def. worth the lower cost than the other kinds ;)

OMG I'm looking at the different sites you guys posted and all of a sudden
a male voice is yelling about the potty patch:eek: I had no idea where the
voice was coming from and my co-workers are looking at me.:p
The volume was turned up on my speakers from the MIS worker
who was working on my computer earlier.
I am soooooo red.

I just did not see anyone who posted that they were using this brand, may have missed it. I saw you had made one, had the doggie pottie. another had the puphead and someone else had another....It just seems like there is such a drastic difference in price from $40 to $149 and some even more! $40 is a fair price for it but if the grass is not as good, drainage not as good, or something like that I did not want to order it. I almost hate to mess with a good thing with the pee pads. They are all pretty good about using them when I'm gone. Only Ben has the new marking thing going on and I don't think a pee patch will stop that. I do think the potty patch (or other brand) looks better than the old pee pads laying on the carpet.

I'm sorry to laugh, Carol, but I can't help it. I am picturing a quiet, efficient office with everyone looking hard at work and then the booming voice advertising the Potty Patch! And you are busted! LOL! :D

Hehe... That is too funny. :)

I do agree with you :)

The doggie potty is by far better then the one I made and better than the potty patch. BUT it is alot of money. The grass I bought for my homemade one is the same as the potty patch. Living in NY, I can only use this system during Spring/Summer/Fall, as I hose the hell out of the grass 1x a week and let dry outside in the sun. In the winter, it's too much of a pain, so I just stick with the pee pads.

I like the grass for a couple of reasons. We have dark hard wood floors and using the grass keeps the paws from getting wet and then I don't have to worry about the pee paw prints all over the place. I also have occasional poop eaters, and the grass sorts "hides" the poop so it does deter the nasty habit. And Roxy is a BIG time marker. The grass inside the house is a PURE DELIGHT for Roxy, she LOVE to pee and poop on it, and I do notice less random pee spots around my house ;)

P.S. I didn't mean to come off sounding rude about this brand, it's just that the title of this thread is Potty Patch, so I thought we all knew what we were talking about (LOL) :D

Sort of. It was strange I first thought it was coming from the radio
we keep in the office. Good thing I'm the supervisor, no one will
question me, heavens only knows what they are thinking. LOL

Ah, "it is good to be king" or in this case "supervisor." :D What movie was that line from?........seems like maybe an old Monty Python......ah well, another tidbit lost in the void that was my memory.
