Porch Potty Small - Self-Draining Dog Potty Tray with Premium Synthetic Grass Pads - Dog Grass Pad with Tray - Puppy Pee Pads Washable - 4x2 ft

This is an ingenious product! We live close to the road and worry about the safety of our puppy when we take her out to go potty. The Porch Potty, perfectly named, has given us peace of mind. We keep this unit on our back deck so we can let our puppy out freely to do her business. We water the grass pad regularly so the smell of urine doesn't linger and we dump the potty bucket once a day—we don't smell a thing! It's great that it works with either artificial or real grass. We really love this product and are so happy we purchased it!

The media could not be loaded. We recently bought this after having a PetSafe Pet Loo for years on our patio. We have a very small patio and even spraying it every few days with odor eliminator, we could still smell the urine unless we rinsed it with water daily. That meant emptying the urine collector pan frequently and we got tired of the tiny spills we often had doing that. We switched to the Porch Potty and love having a flushable dog toilet. Ours is next to a hose, so it's easy for us to spray it off. Watering can works great as well.If you're willing to give it a quick rinse with water daily and have a place to direct the urine drainage tube, this is ideal. For us, it is worth the extra cost to not have to empty the urine collector pan again. But if you're not going to rinse it often, the Pet Loo may be a better option since its collection tray design is more angled and allows for better drainage into the urine collector pan.PetSafe Pet Loo-Less expensive and great value for the money-Collection tray has a sharper downward angle allowing complete urine drainage-Sturdy & durable enough to last several years on a covered patio, but not as sturdy as Porch Potty-Urine collector pan is not large making it less practical to rinse daily with water. To use a larger pan, you'd need cut the plastic underneath.-Lighter and easier to move around than Porch Potty-We found we had the least mess when we lined the urine pan with a small trash bag and filedl it 2/3 full of kitty litter. Changing it is as easy as tying the bag. But if you forget and it overflows, it becomes even worse when you slide out the pan and the mess goes everywhere.-Unless we used kitty litter, we often had some spillage when sliding out the urine pan regardless of how full it was.Porch Potty-Heavier and appears more durable than Pet Loo. If you're planning to use this in uncovered area, this is a better choice than Pet Loo.-Nicer appearance than Pet Loo with the wicker sides-As shown in the video, the collection tray has a minimal angle, so some urine will remain in the tray and stink unless rinsed daily with water.-The drainage tube is slightly larger than 1/4" width, and we needed a smaller one to fit through an opening in our mosquito screen. Replacing the drain attachment and tube was an easy and inexpensive fix at the hardware store.-Ideal if you have a place to direct the tube drainage and plan to rinse daily. You'll still need to spray it with odor spray as well.

I read the reviews, and they are all correct, this is way over priced for what it is, the plumbing I had to pretty much redo…. But this product is a life saver. Moved into a house with no yard, but I have a doggie door and a porch.Trained them with treats and praise every time they used it. Placed their droppings from the porch onto the pottie, they eventually got the idea.Gotta pick up droppings daily, and as long as you give it a rinse every few days no smell. This is with 2 Boston terriers. Over all very pleased with the purchase, as I knew the reviews on quality, and expected to have to make/ retro fit my own plumbing because of very low quality adapters and seals.

This was a HUGE disappointment. Externally, it looks very nice and the frame is solid. Functionally, a COMPLETE failure.If you just want a place for your pet to go and don't mind urine getting on your patio then this will work for you. If you don't want urine on your patio don't buy this product, it leaks no matter what you do.They offer two modes of operation -- with a hose, or with a collection pan underneath - both methods leak no matter what you do. I REALLY wanted this to work and did everything possible to make it work but it is impossible.First, with the hose. The poor quality of the hose, drainage pan and connecting adaptors guarantees leakage. The connection of the hose to the pan is with a plastic connector that does not tighten enough to prevent leakage. It tightens to some point and then screws through the tight spot and goes around again. You can tighten forever. Further, the hole in the pan does not match the hose so leakage is again guaranteed. The hose is of course round, but the hole in the drainage pan is oval - poor quality control in the pan. So even if the washer/connector tightened enough it would leak where the oval hole exceeds the parameters of the round hose. Plus, the hose is a small thin plastic hose of poor quality that would crack pretty quickly in the heat where I am -- southern Arizona -- or in brittle cold winter weather.I was so determined to make it work that I took the whole assembly - hose, drain pan and washer/connector to a plumbing supply house to get help. Three old guys, with 40 years experience each, looked at it, tried to troubleshoot it, etc. and the end result was that "it can't be done." They even thought about rounding out the oval hole and getting a slightly larger hose, but the way the pan is designed this won't work. There are a couple of step-downs in the pan going to the hole. Enlarging the hole will take away too much of the plastic so that there's no way to then attach the hose. Can't be done.Second, with the collection pan. Not what I wanted but there was no other choice. Well, this doesn't work either. It works fine until you try to empty the collection pan. The DRAINAGE pan is grooved to direct the urine toward the hole and into the collection pan. The problem is that the urine doesn't drain completely when the pet pees. So, to be able to reach under the frame and pull out the COLLECTION pan, you have to lift the frame the height of your pan, and then lower it back to the ground while you go empty the collection pan. You have to do this again to put the collection pan back in place. When you do all this lifting and lowering, the urine left in the grooves of the drainage pan is disturbed and will then flow out -- leaking onto the patio.Great idea but doesn't work. Design of the functional aspects needs improvement. The quality of the functional pieces needs a lot of improvement. If I was OK with urine on my patio I would not have bought this. With NO WAY TO MAKE IT WORK I wasn't about to let them keep my money so back it went. Save yourself the aggravation, keep looking.

This is such a game changer for older pets that cant always wait to get down stairs. Have them on both balconies now.
