If you live with more than one dog, chances are your daily schedule revolves around feeding, grooming, and—of course—potty breaks. With two, three, or more furry companions, bathroom trips can feel like a constant occurrence. From early morning wake-up calls to late-night walks, the juggle never ends. For urban pet parents, or those with limited outdoor space, this challenge only grows.
In these situations, grass pads for dogs emerge as an innovative solution. No more frantic leash-grabbing during bad weather or cleanup emergencies when someone couldn’t hold it in. These setups give your dogs a dedicated space to go when nature calls—without tearing up your lawn or disrupting your day.
For homes with multiple dogs, a standard size simply doesn’t cut it. Enter Gotta Go Grass®, a real grass system featuring interlocking trays that scale with your needs. Whether you have two small pups or a large-breed duo, it grows with your pack, offering a fresh, natural feel dogs prefer, and easy maintenance you’ll appreciate.
Why Standard Pee Pads Don’t Cut It for Multi-Dog Homes
In 2024, 66% of U.S. households—approximately 86.9 million homes—own a pet, and among those, about 45.5% are dog owners. In fact, the average dog-owning household has about 1.6 dogs, which means many families are managing two or more pups at once.
While that kind of companionship brings joy, it also comes with daily challenges—particularly around potty routines. Many pet parents rely on traditional pee pads as a quick fix, but these solutions rarely hold up in multi-dog homes.
Traditional dog pee pads are typically thin, single-use sheets made of absorbent paper or fabric layered over plastic. They’re meant for occasional use, often during puppy training or for small breeds. But in multi-dog homes, they tear easily under paws, saturate quickly, and start to emit odors within hours—especially when shared among pets.
Some households look to synthetic grass alternatives for a more durable option. These turf-style pads offer a more natural appearance and often sit on top of plastic trays where the liquid waste is collected. Over time, they become difficult to clean and may confuse dogs who are still learning where it’s acceptable to go—potentially leading to unwanted accidents indoors.
With more than one dog, these problems multiply. Pads become crowded. Accidents spill over. Dogs step into each other’s messes, and cleanup becomes a daily burden. Hygiene deteriorates, and frustration builds up.
What multi-dog homes need is a smarter solution: something scalable, natural, and familiar to dogs. A system that uses real grass and is built to expand with your pack.
Meet Gotta Go Grass: A Scalable, Real-Grass Pee Pad Solution
Gotta Go Grass is designed with both dogs and owners in mind, especially those managing a full household of four-legged friends.
Each grass pack measures a convenient 16 x 24 inches and comes with a durable plastic tray underneath. The trays are thoughtfully designed with interlocking edges, allowing you to snap multiple units together seamlessly. This means you can easily expand your potty area to suit your dogs' size, breed, and number, without mess or instability.
For example, a single tray is recommended for a small to medium-sized dog under 30 pounds. But with a second dog—or a larger breed—you can join two, three, or more trays together to create a custom space that matches your home and your pack.
Its flexible setup works great for apartment balconies, patios, mudrooms, laundry areas, or even RVs. Whether your space is compact or sprawling, Gotta Go Grass® gives you a clean, natural potty station that’s as portable as it is practical.
The Benefits of Real Grass for Dogs
Dogs are creatures of habit and instinct. Given the choice between synthetic turf and real grass, most dogs will choose the latter every time. There’s a reason your pup pulls toward the nearest lawn during walks.
Real grass feels cooler and softer under paws, and the natural scent triggers your dog’s outdoor potty instincts—a big win if you’re house-training a new puppy or welcoming a rescue dog still learning the ropes.
For multi-dog homes, this instinctual preference translates to fewer accidents and easier training. With a real dog grass pee pad, there’s no confusion about where to go, and less temptation to sneak off to other parts of the house.
Real grass also naturally absorbs moisture and helps neutralize odor—a feature that synthetic options struggle with. When maintained properly, it stays fresher longer and doesn’t trap smells in the way plastic turf or fabric liners do. It’s a cleaner, healthier choice for both pets and people.
Setting Up Your Multi-Dog Grass Pad Station
Setting up your Gotta Go Grass system is quick and easy—and fully customizable.
Start by assessing your dogs’ size and number. One 16x24 grass pad is recommended for dogs under 30 pounds. For larger breeds or multiple dogs, start with at least two trays side by side. With the interlocking design, you can create a larger rectangle, a wider square, or any layout that suits your space.
Next, choose your location. Common options include:
-
Indoor laundry rooms or mudrooms
-
Balconies or porches
-
Backyard patios
-
RV interiors or outdoor campsites
Pick a low-traffic, easy-to-clean area that your dogs can access freely. If indoors, placing the setup near a washable mat or tile floor is ideal for any accidental runoff. If outside, opt for a spot with some shelter from heavy rain or direct sun.
With your trays snapped in place and grass packs laid flat, you’re ready to go. Your dogs will do the rest.
Maintenance Tips for Clean, Odor-Free Use
Maintaining Gotta Go Grass is simple, but a few best practices go a long way in keeping your space clean and comfortable.
-
Water lightly every few days to keep the grass hydrated and fresh.
-
Ensure airflow around the grass to prevent excess moisture buildup underneath.
-
For best results, replace the grass every 2–4 weeks, depending on usage.
-
Watch for signs it’s time to replace: fading color, foul odor, flattened or drying blades, or heavy saturation.
-
Clean the trays between swaps. A quick rinse and wash with pet-safe soap will keep bacteria and buildup at bay.
-
For extra odor control and grass longevity, place the grass in sunlight for short periods (15–30 minutes) when possible to dry out and refresh.
These steps keep the area pleasant for your dogs and your household, ensuring the system continues to work like new.
