WizDog Indoor Dog Potty

Maybe I have no business reviewing this product, since I sent it back before using it.... but I felt others should know what I learned before they order it. The Indoor Dog Potty consists of a tray with a grid that loosely fits inside, under which you are supposed to place newspaper for puppy's potty. The tray is very flimsy plastic -a little heavier than a plastic milk carton. The grid is the type you can buy at any hardware store -they are grids for light fixtures that go into a suspended ceiling. The grid is sharp to the touch -I felt it might be too uninviting for a puppy's soft foot pads, and that the puppy would be unlikely to want to walk on it. Also, the grid's squares are about 1/2 inch deep, and I felt it would be difficult to clean from it. In my opinion, this item was way too expensive for what it was, and I sent it back without trying it. What I ended up doing, which worked pretty well, actually, is to buy some housetraining spray (and may I mention, one spritz is plenty) from the pet store and sprayed it on the floor of my walk-in shower. The is easy to pick up with tissue and flush down the toilet, and I keep a broom-handled scrubbrush and disinfectant bathroom cleaner handy for scrubbing down the shower floor before use. I have a showerhead with a hose on it for easy rinsing. Puppies are nearly housetrained, now, but this method made it easy for the pups to take care of business if left alone for more than a couple hours. My last beloved pooch didn't like going outside in the rain, and I wish I had thought of this shower alternative for her. If rain proves to be a deterrent this time around, at least the pups have an alternative to going outside. By the way, I drape a bathrug over the top of the shower door opening to keep the glass door from closing all the way, in case the pups bump it. I'm not saying the Indoor Dog Potty doesn't work.... I'm just saying it is cheaply made, and that there may be a better, easier way to accomplish the same task.

We have 2 shih tzu's that use this as their primary bathroom. We actually have 2 that we use right next to each other and it works out great. We started out using a doggy litter box, but our puppy really hated standing in the litter--not to mention it was kind of gross....

We'll continue to use the Wiz Dog until something better comes along...

I got this thing, and I must have miscalculated the measurements, because it's huge! It's almost as wide as my hallway! My puppy has no interest in it, and it's not very easy to clean the grate, so we just took the grate off. I really wanted this to work, too, because I don't like the idea of my puppy pooping and peeing on papers that leak onto my floor, but she seems to like that idea a lot more than using this thing.

Very good product. Only con is that it could be just a little deeper so that the feces can be put in with out it being smashed into the grate.

I have had two of the Wizdog potties for the last five years and think they are great. One for upstairs and one for the camper. I had a daycare on the second level of my home when we first got a sheltie puppy. I knew before we ever bought the dog that training the dog to go outside would be a nightmare. It would mean getting shoes and coats on 7 or 8 little kids and draging them all downstairs and outside with me and the puppy. By then the puppy would have already gone on the floor. So we tried the Wiz dog and the dog took to it right away. We change the paper once or twice a day. For number two's I either pick up solids with toilet paper and flush it. Occasionally my dog has had softer stools. In that case I take off what I can with toilet paper. Then I lift the toilet seat and place the dirty part of the grate over the flush. I keep a quart container near the flush that I fill with water and pour it over the soiled part of the grate. It might take two or three water fills sometimes. This will keep the grate very clean. Just in case I also keep some wet wipes in the bathroom. I also always keep plenty of plastic bags in the bathroom so I can triple bag the wet newspaper. After I take up the paper I spray pine sol on the bottom section and wipe with paper towels. Occasionally we take it outside in the summer and hose it. In the winter time I have also filled it with water on my deck and poured pine sol into the plastic bottom with the grate inside and let it soak. If the weather is bad or it's winter time I fill my bathtub with a small amount of water and put the potty upside down into the tub along with some pine sol. Really, it's not hard to keep this clean. I love the fact that in the middle of the night I don't have to get up with the dog. There have been many rainy and snowy days that I was grateful to have this too. A couple of times my husband bought some of the grating over at Home Depot or Lowes and cut new grating to fit the wizdog. Occasionally my dog will have her front paws on the grate and her hind legs off the pottie when doing a number two. But most of the time she gets it right. I have always felt it was well worth the money. We are happy, my dog is happy, and the daycare kids never had to step in doggie doo doo outside.
