Review by Jacqueline Thomas : Pet Zoom

When I first got this product I had very high hopes. My dog, however had no intentions of using it and like every thing else having to do with dogs you have to train them. We keep it out on our patio and now that she's trained, when she has to go, she goes straight to it.

Review by Paul Trimble : Great product

This product works great for my Chihuahua. I wanted it so I could avoid having to take my pet out in snowy and rainy weather. I had tried unsuccessfully the pee pads, but when I put this down she pottied right away. She even sits on it sometimes, which makes me think she thinks it is grass! It is portable enough to move around the house if necessary. The quality of the tray is good. I can see where the grass part may need to be replaced eventually as it sheds a tiny bit when I wash it but replacement pads are available directly from PetZoom.

Review by S. Wu "FluteLover" : Almost 5 star but very very smelly even after multiple warm wash

I have a 10 lb toy poodle boy who learned to pee and poo on the pad within a week. I bought two so I can rotate between them. I started to notice the urine smell within two days and I decided to wash and air dry the pad every other day. After 3-4 weeks, I started to notice that it's getting harder and harder to wash off the smell from all three parts of them, including the synthetic grass, the mesh and bottom tray. I used 409 on the mesh and bottom tray, which improved the staining/smell problem a bit. But I am hesitated to use bleach or other detergent on the grass since my poodle sniffs around the grass and I don't want to expose him to toxic chemical. It is e beginning of the 6 weeks after I got these two pads. I just ordered the IRIS disposable pad and tray yesterday cause I can't stand the hardworking on cleaning up the synthetic pad and my family have been all complained about the smell tho I wash them every other day. I wish there is a product with synthetic grass but cat litter sand in the middle, which can absorb the urine and bad smell. Maybe I will try to make the combination myself to see how it goes. IF it works well, I will get back and let you guys know about it.

Review by C. Wallace "Havanese mommy" : Pet Park is perfect for training puppies

I have new litter of four Havanese puppies and they are using the Pet Park almost exclusively at the age of 5 weeks! They automatically go to it. The only other place they have been pottying is on the washable piddle pads but I have been slowly removing those and now they are almost perfect at its use at 6.5 weeks. I have multiple adult Havanese and so they use the Potty Park, the one with the drawer underneath, and that works better for them, but this is ideal for puppies or a one-dog family and much less in cost than the Potty Park. It is easy to clean and easy to empty. The easiest way to empty it is to have a plastic bucket right there and then just lift it and angle it so that it empties directly into the bucket. Then you just flush that down the toilet. I wouldn't try carrying it through the house over carpet as the tray isn't very deep, so the bucket is the best way to do it. This is much better than piddle pads (washable or disposable) or a litter box because you aren't constantly washing them or having to buy more pads or litter.

Review by AMH : It Works!

The Good: Works great! I live in a condo and have the pet park out on the patio. It's only been a few days and my english bulldog puppy already knows to go there on his own. Easy enough to clean.

The Not as Good: The basin below the grassy patch is very shallow, so I'm sure once my dog grows up I'll have to upgrade; for now though, it easily accommodates a day's worth of elimination. Also, because the grass patch just rests on the plastic tray below, my dog occasionally tries to scratch and pull it up; if this sounds like something your dog might do, I wouldn't leave your dog unattended with the pet park unless you clamp the grass to the tray and/or ensure that he's been trained to not play/scratch/bite it. Also, be sure to remove any loose plastic grass blades when you get it.

Overall, works as advertised. Definitely made my life easier.
