Wizdog Indoor Dog Potty Review
These days, pet products, or should I say gadgets, are all the rage. Some are somewhat beneficial to the dog, some are just plain ludicrous and made only for the dog owners.
At first I thought the indoor dog potty belonged to the last category, you know, a gadget for the lazy owner who wouldn’t take the time to properly housebreak a new puppy. The ones I had seen, had in my opinion no advantages to basic paper training, they were just a lot more expensive.
Surfing the web I recently stumbled upon the Wizdog indoor dog potty. It got me thinking about the pros and cons of the indoor dog potty, and I have to admit I changed my mind.
So What Exactly Is A Wizdog Indoor Dog Potty?
It’s an indoor dog potty consisting of a durable plastic tray and fitted grate. It was specifically designed to fit most daily newspapers, but you can also use the store bought pee pads. The paper or pee pad remains under the grate, preventing your dog or puppy from shredding it.
Liquid waste is channeled through the grate to the bottom of the tray, preventing the paws from coming in contact with the urine.
Solid waste is disposed of by simply lifting and flipping the grate. The grate is only 3/8″ deep and is easy to clean. Each Wizdog indoor dog potty weighs approximately 3 lbs. Each grid cell measures approx 5/8″ square and 1/2″ deep.
The potty can be used as is, or can fit either newspaper or training pads to absorb the urine. Personally, I like the ecological aspect of that (no added waste like litter,pads or paper are necessary), however it might make cleaning it a bit harder.
Who is this Wizdog indoor potty designed for?
Your dog, obviously
But seriously, the Wizdog indoor dog potty could be a great help for a lot of people.
I lived on a 3rd story apartment, no elevator, when I bought my dog. Needless to say, after a couple of months of housetraining the puppy, my physique had greatly improved…
I decided to papertrain her at first, so she would know where to go when I wasn’t home. Worked like a charm, except for the times when she only put her front paws on the paper or had an identity crisis and thought she was a paper shredder… Kinda wish I had something like a dog potty back then, would’ve saved me a lot of time cleaning the apartment.
But the Wizdog isn’t just for apartment-dwelling dog-lovers; maybe you’re not that quick on your feet anymore, disabled, down with the flu, occasionally have to work long hours, stuck in traffic, like to sleep in late, take your dog with you on hotel-holidays, live on a boat,… Or maybe, your dog is terrified of thunderstorms, ill, disabled, afraid of the next-door cat… If your dog knows he can use an indoor dog potty wherever he is, he’ll be happier and healthier (I think you’ll have a hard time finding kidney-donors for dogs).
Would I buy a Wizdog Indoor Dog Potty?
I would, at the moment however I have no need for an indoor dog potty.
Thanks to the good feedback about the product and after sales service, it will be first on my list if the need should arise. One of the other things I like about this company, is how they stress the fact that you should housetrain your dog in a positive way. They also give a 100% satisfaction guarantee, offering to refund all your money, no questions asked. So basically, you have nothing to lose… except the stress and worry about your dog’s potty needs.
