PetZoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I have a chihuahua that has recently decided she no longer likes to use her puppy pads, but the rugs instead. After replacing the rugs in my house (not cheap), I had to look for another solution since I live in a very urban area (West Hollywood) and do not have a yard. After spending countless hours researching the different grass options, I decided to try this since it was very cheap compared to similar products. I even considered a local company that delivers fresh sod every 2 weeks, however, at a cost of $40+/mo and $100+ for the unit I decided to try a more economical option first. I will be the first to admit that I am surprised my dog has used this potty exclusively since I received it about a week ago, no further training was required and she seemed to gravitate to this naturally. For the price, I was very surprised with the quality, it seems pretty well made, as I was really expecting some cheap junk. I don't know if they sell replacement grass pads, but the unit is so inexpensive I'm planning on buying a new one if it starts to smell or deteriorate over time (for the price you cannot expect this to last forever!) Now to the negative, it is gross to clean. If you can get your dog to just use a puppy pad, it is sooo much easier to just toss it and replace it every day, but if your dog refuses I would recommend this. After a couple days of use it started to smell (what do you expect), so I had to dump out the tray in the toilet (gross), and rinse all of the components off in the shower. I rinsed everything off with dish soap, then clorox wipes, and put the grass outside in the sun to dry. If I stick my nose against the grass, it does not smell pretty. I am going to buy some ZeroOdor spray and use that after every cleaning (which will probably be every couple days). This isn't the most efficient solution (puppy pads are), and cleaning this thing will get very old soon, BUT it is either put up with the hassle, or replace my rugs every couple days and live in filth. Obviously, the latter is not an option for me, so I am very happy with my purchase :-)

The Good: Works great! I live in a condo and have the pet park out on the patio. It's only been a few days and my english bulldog puppy already knows to go there on his own. Easy enough to clean.

The Not as Good: The basin below the grassy patch is very shallow, so I'm sure once my dog grows up I'll have to upgrade; for now though, it easily accommodates a day's worth of elimination. Also, because the grass patch just rests on the plastic tray below, my dog occasionally tries to scratch and pull it up; if this sounds like something your dog might do, I wouldn't leave your dog unattended with the pet park unless you clamp the grass to the tray and/or ensure that he's been trained to not play/scratch/bite it. Also, be sure to remove any loose plastic grass blades when you get it.

Overall, works as advertised. Definitely made my life easier.

Best Deals for PetZoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty

This has been the best purchase. I bought this for our travel trailer. Sometimes we leave the dogs in the trailer while we go out and they sometimes cannot wait until we get back. They love to use the green grass to potty. I do not have to get up in the middle of the night to take them out to pee. They just use the PetZoom pet park. I put a puppy pad between the grass and the pan and just throw it away after they use it. When we get home we hose it off and store it ready for the next trip. I would recommend this for small dogs especially. This is a great litter box for small dogs.

Honest reviews on PetZoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty

In theory this product works really well. My dog loved peeing on it and took to it with no problem. However, I was unaware of how disgusting it would smell. If I had thought about it (concentrated amounts of pee in one spot) I would have realized before purchasing how gross it would be. As well, if you accidentally tip it while trying to empty it, you would end up with pee all over you and the floor. While it is "eco friendly" because you are re-using the same product over and over, it is so awful that it is not worth it! The pee smell permeated throughout my condo and made me want to gag.

Seems like people have tried all sorts of methods for cleaning their Pet Zooms with average results. I have had mine for about 5 months now and am not having a problem with the smell at all. Here's what I do:

-Take it to the bathtub and spray it down until the water runs clear.

-Lay it flat and intact (grass in tray, etc) in the tub and sprinkle about 1/4-1/2 cup bleach (I use scented).

-Fill the tray to the brim with water.

-Let soak for about 30 minutes.

-Dump bleach water out and rinse all parts separately VERY WELL.

-Allow to dry COMPLETELY before using.

Do this once a week, weekends are best when you are home to take your dog outside yourself.

Using bleach is a common way to disinfect pet toys and even baby toys, as long as you rinse it very well and allow it to dry! Also, try to keep the poops outdoors, as this will cut down on the cleaning hassle significantly.

My dog was initially reluctant to use this (she was never trained on puppy pads, just outside grass), but I found that if I led her to it with a leash and just hung out on it, she would eventually go. Now she uses it during the day when I'm at work, no problem!

I like the length of the grass, it's nice and short which makes it much easier to clean. The tray is pretty basic, nothing fancy. I do with it was another color other than black so I could see how dirty it was, but oh well. For the price it's great!

UPDATE:

I've had this for almost two years now and it is no longer possible to keep the grass from smelling for more than a day or two. I highly recommend getting these washable puppy pads http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003B3W6C8/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00

My dog is so used to going on the tray that she didn't even blink when I made the switch. I replace it every 2-3 days and just wash them with some detergent and a tiny amount of bleach. Smells fresh and new every time!
