An Indoor Dog Potty Is Perfect For Small To Medium Pooch's

By Jill Krackenburg

An indoor dog potty is terrific if you find that you cannot take your dog out. Your dog will always have a place to relieve themselves if they don't go outside because they are small, or because of reasons when you can't get out. Cats have a place to go to the bathroom inside the house, why not dogs too.

You can find different styles and designs for an indoor dog potty, all of them are suitable to keep in the house and give your dog plenty of room. The variations on the style range from the upper material that your dog will step on, to how the liquid waste is collected. When pads are not enough look into a potty.

The indoor dog potty was created for dogs who stay indoors so that they could feel comfortable and so you will not notice an odor every time they do their business. Every potty has a plastic pan with either a grate, or synthetic grass on top for your dog to stand on. Both of these let the liquid waste filter through to the pan that can be lined with newspaper or Wee Wee pads.

Dog training for dummies will tell you that it is easier to train a puppy to use the potty with the grate on top. Other dogs who were used to going outside will probably not adapt to the grate and it would be better to go with the grass.

You also need to take your ability to clean the potty into consideration. The pad or newspaper at the bottom of the pan, will need to changed frequently to avoid an odor. The grate may is easier to clean than the grass which needs to washed thoroughly with warm water and soap. The pan itself also needs to be cleaned to avoid bacteria and odor.

To summarize, the indoor dog potty for your pet is perfect if you cannot get our to walk your dog. The models with the grates are best for a new puppy, these models need to have some type of absorbent pad in the pan that will need to be changed frequently. The indoor dog potty with the grass, has a basin that collects the liquid, so you only pull out that piece and wash it, along with grass. You know your needs and your dogs preferences best and since these can get rather expensive it is best to choose your indoor dog potty after careful consideration.
