The Indoor Doggy Pottys To Try! I Review The Most Effective Ones

best-indoor-dog-potty

Obviously most cats have litter boxes, but I never knew that there was a way for Harley to go inside too! Sometimes life just gets too busy and I need to still make sure my dog goes out, so I looked for a good one for use inside. With one of these, my pet can go and I won’t need to worry.

Types

I felt really out of my depth when I started researching more. They’re so unique and new that I never thought there could be so many types of them!

Is the Price Right?

Cost is important. If I’m buying something like a fresh grass potty or pad, it can get a little costly. Cheaper ones may be messier though. What you buy depends on what you want and how much you can spend.

My Pup Needs to Like it!

Some pups are a little picky! If you’ve got a picky guy or girl, you might have to put more training into getting them used to your potty. That may involve trying multiple types to determine which is better.

Self-cleaning

I know, I’m also sad that there’s none that completely self-cleans. It’s unfortunate, but you will need to manage clean up. Liquids are pretty easy, although smell can be a problem if you leave solids out.

Convenience

The small logistics are important too. If cleaning supplies will cost more over time, it may not be worth it. Too much cleaning time will only be a pain too. Consider size as well; if it’s too big for your space, it’ll take a lot just to move things around!

Benefits

These aren’t just for extra long work hours, but also if you travel or if you leave your pet with a friend for a few days. They’re meant to make life easier, so if you live in an apartment with only a balcony, it’s really cold or hot outside, or your poor thing had bladder issues, these can relieve your problems.

The natural grass may also help your pet get acclimated to the outdoors, like if you’ve gotten a new puppy or if it is ill. An actual pup potty is very durable, and less likely for your pet to mess with. It’ll absorb lots of urine and is even weather resistant if you happen to put it outside. On top of that, it looks attractive enough for you to leave it out without cringing every time you see it!
