Pet Patio Potty: Comparison to Other Dog Potty Options
Our Pet Patio Potty really has been a godsend for us! I bought one for my dog Luc after trying absolutely EVERYTHING — pads, dog litter, cat litter, synthetic sod/trap pan system, etc. Over time it's been much cheaper than some of the other options (at one point I was spending nearly $20/week for pads). It's also a lot cleaner than anything else I tried (paws never come in contact with the underlying litter), has less odor (litter pulls odors down underneath the trays), and it's even rather attractive (several people have mistaken it for a rock garden or contemporary piece of art). Can you tell it’s changed my life?

Pet Patio Potty: Not Just for Small Dogs
Our Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, age 3, has never known life without her “potty”. It gives her the ability to “go” whenever she needs to, if we get caught late at work, stuck in traffic, whatever, it is WONDERFUL to know she is not at home suffering. It is so easy to clean and perfect if you live in a townhome or apartment. I know many people think the potties are just for small dogs, but our 104 lbs of dog loves it! We cannot thank Doggy Solutions enough.

Pet Patio Potty: No Wet and Muddy Puppy
We have had our puppy, Lucy, a German Wire-haired Pointer, for 4 weeks now and she is doing great with her Pet Patio Potty. After about 3 weeks of constant repetition (and lots of patience and praise), she finally got it. We have had a lot of rain lately and it is wonderful not to have to go outside to get wet and muddy. Also, since we live in the country, I don't feel safe going outside at 3 am! Thanks for making our first indoor puppy a good experience!!

Pet Patio Potty: Using Scent for Training
I received the Patio Potty about a week ago and set it up on our new apartment balcony. Casper (only 4 months) is using the potty very well, but I'm having problems with Max (turning 2 years old soon). Maybe he thinks it looks like a nice piece of furniture and doesn't want to mess it up! (A couple of days later).... I'm so happy! I took your advice and put some of Max's scent on the potty earlier. I just took him out and after a couple of sniffs, he WENT! Thank you.

Pet Patio Potty: Helped Ease Transition from House to Condo
Just wanted to say thank you for the great product and customer service. My brothers and I gave the patio potty to my father as one of his 73rd birthday presents - it has helped ease the transition our parents made from the family home of 30 years to a downtown condo. The instructions for putting it together were very helpful and Vegas also loved the little package of treats. Vegas still gets 2-3 walks a day but it is great to have the patio potty for the times she wants out at night etc!

Pet Patio Potty: Very Easy to Use
Potty arrived on Saturday in good order. We set it up on Sunday and then all hovered around Maggie like expectant parents. At first, she thought the doggy potty was a new place to take a nap. Then she thought it was a playground for chewing on the pea gravel. Finally this morning (Monday) we had success! Really like the quality of the product and the way it was packaged. Very easy to use.

Pet Patio Potty: Beautifully Chic
We love our Pet Patio Potty. We call it our "Zen Rock Garden!" We selected the redwood, which looks beautifully chic outdoors on our balcony. We live on the 10th floor of a high rise so all dog owners can imagine and sympathize with having to train our puppy during the winter months in Chicago. Our puppy, Lyla Bear, was trained after the second time using it. She is 5 months old now. She practically takes herself out so long as the door is open.

Pet Patio Potty: Eliminates Middle-of-the-Night Elevator Trips
I ordered a Pet Patio Potty about a month ago for my new petite Goldendoodle puppy. It only took a day for her to realize what we wanted her to do on it! And while sometimes she'll get frisky, grab a pebble and run, the potty has been a lifesaver! We live in an apartment building and taking her down the elevator and outside to a patch of grass in the middle of the night would be difficult! Thanks so much for your product - It has been wonderful!

Pet Patio Potty™: Assembly Instructions Great
Just wanted to let you know that I setup our patio potty last night and it went very smoothly. Your assembly instructions were great! I particularly like the fact that you included pictures and also labeled all the parts (Medium Elevated Canopy model). It took me less than an hour (not including caulk drying time). With some patience and coaxing, Booboo actually went pee in the potty last night and this morning! Thanks again and good job on a great product!

Pet Patio Potty: Best Thing We’ve Bought for our Pup
My partner bought a PPP a couple of weeks ago and it is by far the best thing we've ever bought for our pup! We live in a townhome and weren't having much success potty-training 3 month old Sophie when we had to run down three flights of stairs and down the street before we came in contact with grass. At first (and it still happens on occasion) Sophie just loves to lay there and chew on the rocks. Now, she asks to go outside on the deck to the PPP to do her business! We are so ecstatic! The PPP looks good on the deck, it's easy to clean, and she uses it! Thank your mom for having a need (See About Us Page) and thank you for finding the solution and sharing it with the rest of us!

Pet Patio Potty: Best Solution for a Condo Owner
I got the PPP on Thursday, set it up after work and my dog wouldn’t go anywhere near it. Friday was absolute hell, she refused to go in, and I refused to let her do anything else. She ended up with a huge mess in her crate. Saturday got better, and by Saturday night she not only uses it, she goes to the door and sits to be let out when she has to go. I am absolutely amazed that in 48 hours I went from a dog that constantly had accidents to a dog that is sitting at the door to go out. Thank you so much. This is the absolute best solution for a condo owner that I have ever seen. In fact, as I wrote this email my puppy ran to the door and scratched to go out. Great product, and worth every penny; thank you again. Now, if you could just come up with a product to convince college age kids that tattoos and piercing are NOT good ideas in the job market.

Pet Patio Potty: Backyard All Concrete
I wanted to thank you for adding hours to my day! We got two Labradors in May. Tucker & Cooper were adorable & just 7 weeks old. Our backyard has no grass and is all concrete. At first I thought this is great, no digging holes & tearing up my yard! Well not so fast. I was coming home everyday having to hose down the patio. They would go “potty” just about everywhere! I found myself spending over an hour EVERY DAY cleaning the patio. This went on for 5 months. I then began researching topics from “how to clean your concrete” to “training your dog to go potty in a particular area” and nothing was working... not until I found your website. After reading your website and contacting you via e-mail (and how GREAT your customer service is at Doggy Solutions) we decided to go for it and make a purchase of your large unit. Well, it took about 4-5 days and Tucker & Cooper caught on! Suddenly I was coming home and NOT a drop of urine anywhere!!! Oh yeah and they were clean, not stinky puppies! I just hose down the artificial turf, change out the litter and follow your simple maintenance guidelines. The end results are AWESOME!!! It really has changed our lives and given us more time to play instead of clean! Thank you SO MUCH! What an incredible product!

Pet Patio Potty: Good for Senior Dogs
I'm a long time customer (a few years now, anyway) and am VERY happy with the product. I bought my first one when my last pup, LambChop was too weak to go up and down our backstairs in Chicago!! And then found the product PERFECT for housebreaking Cricket (my new Maltese/Shih Tzu - in picture) when I first got him at my LA location!! It's a GREAT product!! ☺

Pet Patio Potty: Big Back Yard to Condo
Hey! I just wanted to drop a quick email to say I can't believe how lucky I am with your product! I ordered it on Monday, picked it up on Friday and both dogs have been using it to go the restroom and it's Monday. Unbelievable - I went from a big backyard to your product and I was so stressed about them adjusting - especially two - and it has been great! Thank you so much! Also, I'm single female and I was worried about getting it up to my condo. Not only does it look good (Medium Black PE Low Profile with Sapphire Blue cover and K9Grass) but I could lift it myself and get everything ready! Keep up the good work! I will definitely recommend you!

Pet Patio Potty: Easier than Taking Elevator
You helped me last week to order a patio potty for my mini Goldendoodle puppy, Bodie. I first wanted to thank you for getting it to me so quickly. I also wanted to tell you that I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Bodie, who is only 12 weeks old, began using it regularly by the second day. By the third day, he would go over to the door to my patio when he needed to go. I couldn't believe it! I'm thrilled. It is a million times easier than taking the elevator down from my 12th floor apt. every time he needs to go out. Thank you!

Pet Patio Potty: Alternative to Pee Pads
Bella had been trained to use Pee Pads out on my balcony and she had absolutely no problem making the transition to the gravel in the Pet Patio Potty. Now her "bathroom" is a lovely addition to my balcony rather than being an embarrassing eyesore.

Pet Patio Potty: Perfect for our Townhouse
Your Pet Patio Potty (which I call the Zen Poopy Garden) is working out great. It is perfect for our townhouse. My husband rigged up some fencing to go around it with one small opening which is a great idea because young puppies will try and run out. Thanks.

Pet Patio Potty: Puppy Potty Training Easier
Ferdinand is doing great and he loves his potty! I can't believe how much easier potty training has been with it and I don't know what we would have done without it. In fact, so far, it's been easier to get him to go in his potty than outside. I think the city is a bit overwhelming for the little guy.

Pet Patio Potty: Easy to Maintain
We brought our new beagle, Emmy, home at 10 weeks and within a day she had figured out how to use her new Pet Patio Potty. She now goes there automatically, even though she has access to a large brick patio and paddle court. It is so convenient, clean, and easy to maintain.

Pet Patio Potty: Adult Dog Training
Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Our 8 year old dog traded her country life to become a city girl - no more back yard, just a small balcony. We worried about taking her out at odd hours. Our problem was solved when we acquired a Pet Patio Potty. One sniff and that was it. No more late night or early morning trips outside. We especially appreciate the potty when the weather is bad! Thanks!!

Pet Patio Potty: Using Treats as Rewards
I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the potty. My husband was able to set it up in a less than an hour (Small Elevated Canopy Model). Max and Daisy started using it right away and we are having fewer accidents in the house with each passing day. I've been using treats as rewards for using the potty and I think that is making a big difference also. Thanks for putting together such a quality product!

Pet Patio Potty: Very Impressed with Construction
I received the Patio Potty and I'm very impressed with the construction and how well it went together (Toy Black PE Elevated Canopy model). It's actually a nice addition to my patio and doesn't detract at all. A few of my neighbors are already asking about it, so I've forwarded them your website and details. Thanks so much for the card and the treats for Annie. We're getting along great and she's doing very well. I'm in the process of installing a pet door that will go out to the patio, so that will aid in the process of getting her used to the Patio Potty. Thanks again for a great product!

Pet Patio Potty: Wonderful, Personalized Service
We have two adult cocker spaniels and they did not adjust well when we moved into a downtown loft. Even with 3 and 4 walks a day, there were messes inside daily. We tried building our own "dog litter box," but it was a disaster. Then we installed a Pet Patio Potty (Elevated Canopy Model) on the deck. With a few treats as motivators, the dogs quickly learned to use it and we haven't had a problem since! Now, they do their "business" in the PPP, and their walks are just about having fun. Thanks for a great pet product and your wonderful, personalized service.

Pet Patio Potty: Puppies Quick to Learn
I received the pet patio yesterday and couldn't be more pleased. I received the package around 5:00 yesterday, set it up (with help from both puppies), and by 10:00 last night both had already used the new facilities. It's now 2:00 am, and both puppies used the pet patio on their own without having to be coached!!!!! YAY!!!!! It is all a process, and I know it will be a while before it becomes a habit for them, but I am super pleased already. On this Thanksgiving Day, I am thankful for you and our new pet patio!!!

Pet Patio Potty: Life is so much easier
Bart has been NO problem! He used the potty a couple of hours after you left. Now, Emily, as you recall, was the concern, but I'm thrilled to report she started using the potty about 3 days after you installed it!!!! I was stunned, thrilled and amazed! As you know she's a doll, but not the brightest light on Broadway. The Pet Patio Potty has been a godsend. You've made my life SO MUCH EASIER!!!!

Pet Patio Potty: Wonderful Product that Looks Great!
I just wanted to let you know that I got my Patio Potty on Monday and it looks fantastic (Small Black PE Elevated Canopy model). The dogs were not scared of it at all, but seemed to think it was a new bed for them. It only took a day for Cloe to catch on. Jynx may need a little more coaching which I am hoping to do this week-end. I just wanted to thank you again and think you guys have a truly wonderful product that looks great!

Pet Patio Potty: Two Potties for One Lucky Dog!

Elevated Doggy Diner: Durable, Decorative and Quality Product
I am a long time Pet Patio Potty customer. A few months ago, Doggy Solutions introduced me to their customized, elevated food/water dishes. We have two Swiss Mountain Dogs who are susceptible to bloat so the elevated dishes are a must. We love our Elevated Doggy Diners because they are so durable and can withstand our 100 lb pups rocking them with their over eager eating. The diners are also so decorative, they look like part of our home decor. Thanks Doggy Solutions for again providing such a quality product for our pups!
