Disposable Dog Potty - Multi-Use, Odor Neutralizing, Non-Leaking - Lasts for Weeks - Indoor/Outdoor

Alright, so, when I first tried this, my picky little doggie would not use it. They have a great video on training that I used, though, and she started using it while we were living in an apartment. Then when we moved to a townhouse with limited access to grass, it was like she realized it was the best choice and started using it. I freaking love the bark pad. What I like:(1) Dog doesn’t miss. My little girl had a tendency to miss a pee pad, and even if she didn’t miss a pee pad, she would often step in her own pee and leave a trail of pee paw prints. With the bark pottt, she climbs up the teeny ledge, goes, and then steps off. So no more missing!!! I love this.(2) High performance. This works for at least a month for a small dog. Look, if you have a large dog, you probably aren’t going to get a month out of this thing. But I have a 10 pound dog. We are the bark potty’s target audience. It lasts us 4-5 weeks with no problems at all with smell. Also no leaks and you have to look to see where she has peed. No need to clean the thing. Just put it by the door and leave it alone for your doggie’s use.(3) Accessories. I think this is far more attractive than a pee pad, but I would love to see more accessories. The company does make a nonslip mat, though, and a nice looking wooden box. I plan to order one of those soon.The thing I am most concerned about is that this will not be available in a few months because not enough people give it a long enough chance to work. Give it a try! Use their training methods. This is replacing pee pads in my house. So satisfied!

My dog was able to pull out this staple they used in the product in the photo and almost ate it. This product is garbage. He also tried to eat the bark which falls out of this thing. I also called them for a potty appointment at a certain time and no one answered. Amazon should not carry this product.

I REALLY like this idea. Yes, it is fully recyclable...which I really appreciate. HOWEVER, The ONLY reason for my three star rating, after a little bit of research on my own I found that bark/mulch is all of $3.50 a bag that would last two to three months. Bird netting is also SUPER cheep (that is the netting used over the top to keep your pup from dragging the bark all around the house. If I use a reusable tray and get my own bird netting and mulch/bark each month I found I would spend about $5 a month on this same concept. My two Havanese breed dogs (toy breed) used two bark potties and with in two weeks I needed to change it or it was filling my home with urine smell. While it was nice to not have to change pee pads multiple times a day $160 bucks every month is WAY too much to be charging for something that costs WAY less to do on your own. I am purchasing my own supplies to create a less costly version of this fabulous idea. I just cannot justify $160 a month for this when I can do it myself for $5 a month. That is a savings of $155 a month....$1,860 a year!!! What the heck. I would much rather only spend $60 a year than pad someone else's pocket that amount. I would be willing to spend $40 a month on this, but NOT $160.

This disposable dog potty has been a lifesaver! We keep it on the balcony for our dog Buddy, and it worked amazingly during potty training. He always had easy access to it, which meant no accidents inside the house - ever!It’s durable, doesn’t leak, and really does neutralize odors. We’ve even continued to use it for convenience, and Buddy still prefers it over going out when it’s raining. Definitely recommend to any dog owner, especially in an apartment setting!

Update: I decided to stop using the potty bark box because it was so expensive. We had to replace it every 2 to 2.5 weeks because it smelled really gross (even on the balcony of the apartment). I tried a dog litter box with paper pellets, but puppy just ate them and strewn them all over the apartment. Also gross. Ultimately the thing that worked best for our puppy was the reusable/washable pee pads. I use Natures Miracle laundry booster and regular laundry detergent on them and they come out clean.Original Review:We are potty training our 11 week old puppy to use this bark box. I gave it 4 stars because, as other reviews pointed out, if the dog’s stool is mushy or he has diarrhea then the bark box goes into the trash. That hasn’t happened yet, but I did order an extra one for that eventually. We have trained puppy to go on the box (on the balcony of our apartment) and he makes it there most of the time or he goes on his walk. This has reduced the number of potty accidents that I have had to clean up in the house. We got this because the landscaping at our dog friendly apartment complex has a lot of bark around the plants and we thought that he might associate the act of peeing outside with the act of peeing on the bark box. That did actually work. We had it inside at first and he only used it once, but after we moved it to the balcony it has become his favorite potty spot. It is very expensive though, which is a negative. I also bought a plastic dog little box and paper dog litter pellets from Petco for puppy to use inside. So far he prefers the bark box on the balcony. Puppy does try to rip the bark out of the box for fun though. The bark box has been surprisingly durable against his efforts. Puppy also chews on the paper litter from his litter box and he drags/plays with the reusable pee pads that we put on the carpet in his favorite “accident” potty spots. My point is, that there is no perfect option, but this is working for us.
