When I adopted my puppy Toby, a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier, in July, 2011, artificial grass was the only game in town. I started out with Potty Patch As Seen on TV, Small, Color:Green and then upgraded to New! Ingrass Puppy Potty Bigger & Deeper Now! Free Spray Bottle of Puppy Attraction Aid Spray 22" X 32" Indoor Outdoor. In fact, I wrote a very positive review of the Ingrass product, viewable at the above link.

I used artificial grass for close to a year, initially for training, and then for convenience. I installed a doggie door that leads to an outdoor deck. The issues of artificial grass are well-documented in reviews. For me, maintaining artificial grass was time-consuming and somewhat gross. I used potty pads between the artificial grass and the draining tray, almost obligatory. Otherwise you have the task of pouring urine from a large shallow rectangular into a container. Every other day, I donned rubber gloves, removed the grass, squeezed the urine out of the potty pad before disposing of it, rinsed off the artificial grass in the bathtub which then had to be disinfected, then laid down a new pad, the grass, and finally disposed of the rubber gloves. Particularly on hot days, fumes would waft from the artificial grass onto my porch or into my living room. For the dog, the experience is akin to using a "porta-potty" every time you have to go, and dogs have many more olfactory receptors than humans to take in the experience.

As soon as I learned of the DoggieLawn product, I purchased a 24" x 24" piece of real grass on Amazon. It was delivered in an attractive Pizza-like Box and Toby immediately took to it. With real grass, there are no fumes and no upkeep other than watering it every so often. The urine dissipates organically. It just works. Depending on the time of year (I live in northern California), the grass starts to turn brown in sections after 5-10 days. This is to be expected. The good news is that the dog doesn't care. As far as Toby is concerned, it's like new.

I upgraded to the 24"x 48" piece and went on a monthly subscription with DoggieLawn which lowers the cost. This option is only available on their website. The larger piece retards aging/death of the grass by dissipating the urine over a larger area. Concentrated urine kills the grass.

If you are only potty training your dog for only a month or so, the advantages of using DoggieLawn over artificial grass are self-evident. DoggieLawn is cheaper as a one-time purchase and it's the real thing. It has no lingering noxious smell, requires no pads and no janitorial conscription. As a subscription, costs are certainly something to consider. Doggie Lawn charges and delivers me a piece of grass 13 times per year (52 weeks/4). For me, its well worth the investment. DoggieLawn delivers the grass to your door and if you have an questions or issues, they respond quickly. They have a very efficient operation.

If you have a semi-ambulatory dog, because of age, back trouble or issues walking, are away from home for long periods of time or simply need to potty train a puppy, you can't go wrong with DoggieLawn.

Update 8/9/2013

The monthly DoggieLawn delivery has now become a fixture of Toby's (my dog)life. It's delivered monthly, installs in a under minute (replace old grass by laying down a new 2x4 piece),water it and that's pretty much it. You can expect the grass to starting turning yellowish after about a week and after three weeks, the green is gone completely. Next year, I might switch to a 3 week interval. The grass is really a striking green when it first arrives. I have been using the worn out grass to fill large holes in the dog park here that have been created by burrowing dogs. It's a great way to patch them and many local dog parks have them.

Potty training a miniature dachshund in an apartment has NOT been easy. Even on walks outside she's too busy sniffing around to be bothered to stop and relieve herself. I thought if I could just get a patch of grass on the balcony, she would have her own potty area all to herself and *maybe* I could steam clean a little less.

I ordered a grass from a different source here on Amazon and it was ok. A few dollars more, the box was a bit bulky and it was very messy. Dachshunds dig... and boy did she ever. While she did start using it to relieve herself, I still had to steam clean all of the dirt she dragged in from it. I saw the DoggieLawn has an organic mat instead of soil so I thought I'd give it a try.

The one thing that could be better from this company is shipping info. I never got that so I had no idea when to expect delivery or by who. Living in a secured entrance apartment I need to know these things so I know who to keep an eye out for or if I need to leave a note at the entrance.

Still, I came home from work one night and there it was at my doorstep. Whoever the delivery service is, they got into the building and left it for me in a good location. The box opened up super easy, just pull the top off and it's ready to place outside. The grass was very nice, lush, green and attractive to the pets. The cat loves sitting on it, the dog loves peeing on it. It's a win-win.

I've had it for 3 weeks and it now needs replacing so I've ordered another. I do wish they had a monthly subscription service rather than bi-weekly.

I looked into getting a product like this before but the wood box it came in was too heavy. Doggie Lawn is wonderfulit's light, clean, and easy-to-use. I take my dogs for walks often but as they get older, I'd like to have an option for them on the balcony in case they need to go urgently or for days that they are not feeling good.

Both dogs love it and they seemed happy and amused to have a little lawn on the balcony. I highly recommend this product.

Honest reviews on DoggieLawn Disposable Dog Potty with REAL Grass

I've tried the wee-wee pads, but my puppy never used them. As soon as I put out the doggie lawn, she went over to it and started sniffing it. It took a few days to train her but on day 3, she finally got it. It was much less effort than I thought it was going to be. I live in a condo so having these potty boxes is like having a tiny backyard inside my condo! Now I don't have to worry about cleaning up accidents when I get home. The best part of it is that I can throw away the used boxes and a fresh one is delivered to me every 10 days! Love it!

Yes it is good grass... it came very green and most and the dog loved it.

But it is expensive for a small box with grass in it and only lasts a couple weeks. I knew this was not sustainable when it arrived. It was small and our dog kept wanting to dig in it and rub all over in it, so I knew it wouldn't make for a good dog potty.

Instead of buying more, I went to our local garden store and got 10 feet of grass for $6.50, put down plastic and cardboard then the grass on our balcony. Our Pomeranian has enough grass to lay on, roll in, and pee on. And, I don't freak out when he digs or chews on it since it is cheap and easy to replace. If you live in the suburbs, you shouldn't need to buy this thing. I can only see this if you live in a 10 story apartment building in New York City and don't have a local garden store (and are just desperate). We have hard winters and the garden store doesn't carry sod from November 15th to January 15th, but I think the grass will just get cold and sleep during that time anyway so I am not too concerned about letting it go during the winter. I wouldn't have this inside the house, it is just a box and a dog can pee on the corner of it and it is peeing in your home. But, if you have a balcony or sunroom with tile floors it makes more sense since you can clean it up if the dog digs or chews the box.

If you think you may get angry at your dog for digging in their expensive little box of grass, or if you aren't going to let your dog sleep on it, just plan something else. There are other options you can do, for much cheaper, if you use your imagination.

Good luck!
