Potty Patch
We have all heard of the potty patch by now, it has been on the TV for a month now and everyone has thought, it would be a great to have my dog trained on one of those pads. That was my first thought when I saw it many months ago. As a person that works out of the house and doesn’t have anyone at home to take care of my little, dog (Jake), my first thought was I need to get myself one.
Since I was tired of having to pick up dog messes everywhere, I went and purchased Jake a potty patch. At first he would NOT use the potty pad. It took some time and work to train Jake to use it. I went and purchased some natural ground smell from a local outdoors store and also ended up getting a log to urine on.
The potty patch itself is a 3 tiered dog restroom. I have found it to be perfect for my patio as well as indoor use. The first tier is made up of a soft artificial grass that allows the flow and easy pickup of dog urine and poop. The second tier is a grate that holds the top tier away from the pee, which is in the third tier, the collection tray. They say the collection tray holds up to a gallon of urine but I didn’t want to test that. I change it out every three days, due to the fact I don’t want it to spill while I’m moving it and cleaning it.
After a month of having him trained to go on the pad, I no longer come home to mess here and there. Jake has been using consistently. I do have it next to the door, so its in his natural path to go outside. I have found this to be helpful. The potty patch has been a near perfect solution to leaving my dog at home while I’m away at work.

This is the worst piece of garbage I’ve purchased in quite some time! $40 I might just as well have started a fire in the fireplace with! Bought it yesterday, by today the dog has most of the ‘grass’ chewed out of it. He hasn’t gone on it at all – next to it, near it, etc, but not a drop on it.
And, even though he hasn’t ‘used’ it, it’s not returnable!!! Scam!!!
