Anyone with litterbox experiences? Hi! I am Mary! I will be getting my new little girl Roxie, March 15. She will be 9 weeks old. I am going to be doing litter box training. I have heard good things about this. I would welcome anybody's help if they have done this. Thanks! |
Hello - just fyi - I moved your post from the thread and created your own post so that you'd get more answers and feedback. Best of luck! |
I use a litterbox for pee pads and it works great but I have a boy :) think it would work better for you since you do not have the leg lifting issue to think about! |
Thank you so much! |

having the pads contained in the box, I think, minimizes mess which is great and makes it easier to take him to strange places because he knows to go where the box is and not carpets, floors, etc. |

Also, this would solve that pesky little issue of precious baby going to his pad, putting his little front feet on the pad and not realizing the "business end" is over the floor, and missing the pad altogether! You cant hardly fuss at them when they are looking up at you with that absolutely precious little face, almost smiling at you and saying, "Look mommie!!! I am a good girl!! I peed/pooped right here on my pad just like you want!!" |
Thank you all SO much! How often should I put her in the litter box to start? She will be 9 weeks old. |
I think this is wonderful. Especially for winters and hot summer days. I would say every 3 hours or so before and after she eats. Best of luck! |
HI! I think I confused Roxie, we have her in a large area with her litter box with pee pad. Also there is her bed, food, water dish, but we have the floor lined with pads because it is carpeted. So, she just goes on pads on the floor, instead of into the litter box. Any suggestions? FYI, Roxie is in hospital right now, she stopped eating, diarrhea. They tested for parvo, which is negative, thank God!, But she is one sick little girl. Praying she will feel better. We brought her in yesterday and by evening she was home and feeling better, but then she took a turn in middle of night, so I brought her in at 7AM. Don't know what is going on! |

Mhhhhh.......The only time that I placed the pee pad inside the litter box..... found almost all the sand over the floor. One, or two or the three of my Yorkie s had fun kicking and playing with the sand....LOL |
I just broght my little girl Layla home Friday, she is 12week and I'm doing the litter box, I just got a cat litter box and place a puppy pad in there and she has been doing awesome!!!! Prayers for your girl!!! |

Hi everyone I did the litter box thing years ago .I used a plastic tote that I cut a opening in (sand the cut edges smooth ) it worked great for my male who was a leg lifter. |
Hi all! Roxie is doing a lot better. She ended up with low blood sugar, which is SO scary! Brought her to the vet yesterday morning at 7AM. They started her on Hills prescription canned food and I had to syringe feed her every 2 hours for 24 hours. She is now eating kibble and I am supplementing not as often. She is feeling a lot better now. Thank God for Karo syrup! Thanks for the litter training tips! I think 12 weeks is a great idea to really kick in the training. |

Glad your little one is feeling better. It's so scary when they're sick. |
My Chi has used a litter box for years. Oliver didn't really pick up on it though. He uses the pads. What I did for Crystal was put a pad in the litter box with just a little litter over the top, so she would get used to it. I gradually increased the litter. Also, when I couldn't watch her I'd put her in a cage that was big enough for her to lay down, have a food and water bowl, and her litter box. The only two places she could go were her bed and her litter box. She chose the box and it's been wonderful. I don't use sand or cat litter. I use pine bedding pellets. They're bigger and when they scatter it's not such a mess. It's similar to something called Feline Pine. It's also similar to the doggie litter you can buy at Petsmart. |
Hi I use the pine pellets for my cats. I get mine from the Royal King it's is horse bedding it the same as feline pine but I get a huge bag for under $10.00. It saves me a lot of $$ because I am a freak about the litter box . I am always cleaning it.. |
I've started using the horse bedding pellets too. It's just like feline pine but larger pellets, and it's less than $6 for a 40lb bag at Tractor Supply. |
Thanks all! I am going to check out the pine pellets after I finish my Purina Dog litter. A lot less money! Roxie is feeling a lot better. She is starting to eat some kibble on her own, however, I am syringe feeding also.:) |
