| Does anyone have this? I just bought this for Bruce http://www.petapotty.com/products.html, the petite pet a potty. I am hoping to transition him from pads at home to this. I do hate to make him hold it while I am grocery shopping and things and if this is really odor free i think that this will be a lot better than pads all over the house. What I am wondering is if anyone does have this... (1) Do they really like it? (2) Is it really odor free? (3) Do you keep it near a window for the grass? (4) How long does the grass last? *I do not necessarily trust the website!!!

| That is pretty cute, but I cant believe how much it costs. Maybe its the poor college student coming out in me. I'd be curious to see some reviews, too.

| yorkielovebug Bruce; You go for it, it will probable work, but look's to me like the puppy would have to know what it's for, so you would have to train the puppy to use it. Let us know we might all want on. But looks to me like all you'd need is a pan and some grass. Yorkielovebug |

| This thing is supposed to have excellent drainage into the pan because of the way it is made...It is also supposed to be gauranteed odorless and contain germs better. I am just hoping that it works, although I have a pretty large window of time to get my money back. It will be like 30 days before it arrives, but unless someone else posts a review I will post one once it is up and running!

| I remeber seeing that in a magaizine but the price killed me....I would thiink it woould be simple to make...just a box and a peice of sod....I would have a little pan in the bottom that would maybe hve littler or something like that ot obsorb moister but then to keep the grass alive you would have to water it and I think that would just be a mess.....I know Gidget in wet grass is not a good thing let alone in the house......I think she would want to play more then pee :P I tryed the doggie litter and she just wanted to dig and play in there so now we are back to the pads....we just have one a day in the kitchen and that works well for her. |

| Why switch from peepee pads to this? What are the advantages? and what happens with the poo? |

| The reason I wanted to change is this is supposed to be completely odor less and I am really anal about cleanliness these days (this is knew I am a recovering slob) and it will choke me up if I leave him home for a couple hours and pee sits on the pad for a while. Additionally this is a little more aesthetically pleasing and Bruce loves grass. As far as the poop goes you have to pick iut up like you would when you are on a walk, which is not that great but still anything that may be a bit more sanitary makes me happy. Cause see Bruce also has this thing about after he goes dragging the pad away from the corner he likes it inso I can put a clean one down but this gets mess on the floor too!

| We have one in here in the back of our store. We originally bought it so our girls would have somewhere to go when they were at the store all day. they never took to it and we have a grass patch across the way outside that they use so we didn't try to hard. We are thinking that if you used it with Sod first it would be easier to train them with. Then later on switch out the plastic grass.

| Thats awesome that you can bring them to work. Do they get confined to an area? I would worry about ours (well I know my 3 would) run out when a customer opened the door |

It's great in theory, but since there is a nice median of grass right outside our store, we've never taken much time to teach them to use it. Plus our store usually always has like 4 employees in it so there is always someone to take the girls out. We are getting ready to open our second store in a mall. They were not sure if we could put up a gate or not? if we can't the girls are going to have to stay at home, or at our strip mall store. we'll see how it works out.
