HOW OUR NATURAL DOG GRASS POTTY WORKS
Over the past three decades, pet ownership in the U.S. has surged dramatically. As of 2024, nearly 87 million households, or 66% of U.S. homes, own a pet, with dogs leading the pack—74.8% of pet-owning households, or 65.1 million, have a dog, and this number continues to climb.
This significant increase in pet adoption has driven a shift in pet policies, emphasizing pet-friendliness in high-rise apartments and condominiums, among other establishments. While many apartment operators have adjusted their policies to accommodate pets, a common challenge persists among pet owners: keeping up with their dog’s frequent bathroom breaks. Here’s where Gotta Go Grass® emerges as an excellent solution.
What Is a Dog Grass Pad?
Apartment living often means a lack of immediate and convenient access to outdoor space for potty breaks. The Gotta Go Grass® pad for dogs addresses this problem by providing a patch of real, farm-fresh grass your dog can use for indoor and outdoor potty breaks.
Our grass pads consist of real grass with soil and are recommended for use along with our innovative and reusable interlocking tray. Made of natural grass, each pad effectively absorbs odors and moisture, thus reducing maintenance. Depending on usage, they last 2-4 weeks. Regular replacement keeps the pad fresh and appealing, as dirty pads can deter dogs from using them. When it’s time for a change, simply dispose of the biodegradable contents, clean the tray, and place a new grass pad for continued use.
Each grass pad measures 16x24 inches, ideal for dogs up to 30 lbs. Using the tray allows you to scale up, providing more grass surface for larger dogs or multiple pets.
How Does Dog Potty Grass Work?
Transitioning to Gotta Go Grass® real grass potty pad is straightforward and hassle-free. Here’s how to get started:
Open the Box
Open the box immediately after delivery. Each grass pad is essentially a living plant, and the long transit may result in some yellowing. However, exposure to fresh air for at least a day should help it regain its color and lush appearance.
Maintenance
Treat the grass as you would during regular walks—pick up solid waste immediately to maintain cleanliness and prevent odors. Water the grass occasionally and expose it to sunlight to keep it fresh and green. Feel free to trim, water, or clean the pad with a paper towel as needed.
Set Up the Grass Pad
Set the grass pad in your desired location—indoors or outdoors, on a balcony or on a patio. Ensure the location is easily accessible for your dog and check out our complete guide on where to set up your grass pad.
Disposal
Gotta Go Grass® will last 2-4 weeks, depending on use and upkeep. As a natural dog grass potty, it is fully biodegradable and compostable. When it’s time to replace the pad, ensure to follow your local city guidelines for proper disposal.
Dog Potty Grass Usage
Introduce your dog to the real grass pee pad by guiding them to it and using commands to encourage use. Consistent training and positive reinforcement—rewarding your dog immediately after a desired behavior—can help your dog quickly adapt to their new potty area.
Monitor Usage
Monitor the grass pad regularly for signs of wear or excessive use, which can affect its effectiveness. If the pad appears damaged or worn out before the usual 2-4 week period, consider replacing it sooner to maintain a clean and comfortable potty area for your dog.
Do I Need to Water or Maintain the Grass?
You don’t necessarily have to water the grass, as your dog’s urine will naturally dry out. However, we recommend replacing the grass pad regularly to keep the grass fresh, avoid unpleasant odors, and maintain a sanitary environment.
Although not required, you can occasionally water the grass and expose it to sunlight to keep it fresh and green. Be careful not to overwater, as dogs usually don’t like stepping on damp grass, and you don’t want them tracking wet paw prints on your floor.
Are Dog Grass Pads
Environmentally Friendly?
Yes, dog grass pads are biodegradable and fully compostable. They are long-lasting and a more sustainable option than artificial grass or disposable pee pads, making them an eco-friendly choice for eco-conscious pet owners.
Can I Use Dog Grass Pads Alongside
Regular Walks?
Dog grass pads are ideal for potty training puppies, caring for small pets and seniors, and assisting those with injuries. They are also great for use during bad weather. However, remember that taking your dog to their pee pad is not a substitute for regular exercise, so continue taking your dog on regular walks to keep them active and healthy.
Gotta Go Grass® offers a practical, natural, and eco-friendly solution for managing your dog’s bathroom needs. Whether you live in an apartment, have limited access to outdoor space, or need a convenient potty option for bad weather, our grass pads are designed to make life easier for you and your pet.
