Move over cats, here comes the dog litter. In addition to your traditional tray-based litter box, there are more modern dog litter box alternatives. Enter the dog potty: image a 2 tiered tray, the top layer with grass for dog poo and the bottom layer for the liquid business. To clean, hose it down and bleach. The grass can be replaced more frequently if you opt for fresh turf or less frequently for artificial grass.
So let's explore the best options for your needs.
You all know how much I love a litter box for rearing my brand new puppies. But as a breeder I am always looking out for ways to improve on the old methods. Since I will soon have my own puppy, I can trouble shoot a lot of training situations as they occur, and share the solutions that work for us.
Innovative, self-contained waste drainage system makes it easy to leave your pet at home alone without worry. Artificial grass will not stain or discolor and won't slide off the potty. Dogs feel comfortable walking in and your flooring is protected by built in splash guards. Collector tray is easy to clean and empty.
---- --- --- -- I found out about the Second Nature dog litter made by Purina when I got my lhasa apso puppies Chester and Roxie. I had previously raised two other lhasa apso dogs who spent most of their lives living in high-rise condominiums. Instead of having to take them down an elevator to go outdoors to eliminate all the time, I trained them to use newspapers in a spare bathroom.
