We are big fans of minimal cleaning and practical solutions for our furry friends. We’re excited to share another innovative potty solution that requires as little maintenance as the Doggy Bathroom itself: a patch of real, fresh grass designed to function like a pee pad. This natural grass effortlessly absorbs liquid and odors, and your dog will instinctively recognize the texture of the grass and likely want to tinkle on it. It’s a great way to train your dog to use the Doggy Bathroom and get introduced to pee pads if that’s your preference.

This solution is from a Canadian company named Pooch Patch, and it’s perfect for Canadians interested in the Doggy Bathroom since the fit is compatible. Pooch Patch’s grass patch is an excellent option for a variety of dog owners, including condo dwellers who might not have easy access to outdoor spaces, puppy owners in the midst of training, professionals who work long hours, and owners of older or injured dogs. It’s also a great choice for anyone who values practicality and wants a mess-free home.

Photographed here is our Doggy Bathroom Tray. It's made with rubberized plastic, which is great for holding a grass patch, artificial or natural. It's leak-free and anti-slip due to its texture. You could also opt for the full Doggy Bathroom, which features tall side walls standing at 16 inches. These walls provide extra splash guard protection, making it a clean and efficient solution for indoor potty needs. When combined with the Pooch Patch grass, it creates an even more appealing environment for your dog. The real grass inside the Doggy Bathroom can help your dog adjust to using it more quickly, as they’re already familiar with the texture and scent of grass. This familiarity can make the transition to indoor potty training smoother and more successful.

But don’t just take our word for it—let’s hear from my new Iggy friend, Edgar (@iggyedgarcocomero): “I’ve been using grass in my Doggy Bathroom since day one because I’m fancy like that, and I absolutely LOVE it.” Edgar’s experience highlights how much dogs appreciate the natural feel of grass. It’s a small touch that can make a big difference in their comfort and willingness to use the potty area.

It's worth noting that while grass is a great option, there are also other alternatives available. Some dog owners might prefer artificial grass patches, which can offer a similar feel and function without the need for regular replacement. Other alternatives include bark or pellets, which can also absorb liquid and control odor effectively. Each of these options has its own set of benefits, so it’s important to choose the one that best suits your dog’s needs and your lifestyle. Embracing eco-friendly solutions like real grass patches not only enhances our dogs' potty training experience but also contributes to a cleaner environment.

Doggy Bathroom x Pooch Patch offers a practical, eco-friendly, and dog-approved solution for indoor potty needs. Whether you live in a condo, are training a new puppy, work long hours, or care for an older or injured dog, this setup can make life easier and cleaner for both you and your furry friend. So why not give it a try and see how much of a difference it can make? Your dog will thank you for it!
