So let’s say you can’t always get home to let little Fluffy out in time to doody in the backyard. Or your backyard is clean and pristine and you don’t want it spoiled. Or you are yachting and don’t want to row ashore every time nature calls Fluffy.
Here it is at last!! The Pet Loo, the dog's total indoor toilet solution, a backyard in a box. Great way to housebreak your dog.
No more being at the beck and call of your dog’s bladder, no more walks through the cold rain, no more carpet stains, no more dodging minefields through your yard. 
Synthetic grass covers a surface and the urine drains in a container below. Solid waste can be easily scooped up and the urine-draining system allows the dog to keep her feet dry on the synthetic grass surface while she uses the facilities. Then you simply empty the collection jug down the toilet.
I used the feminine pronoun because I’m not sure how this works with macho male dogs that need to mark their territory as high up as possible.

For $500 you could hire a lot of dog walkers.

That looks kinda disgusting to clean.

Hi there!
This is the wildest blog post I have read all day! I am going to have to forward this around, people might just not believe me if I just told them.

Holy moly. That's a totally silly product. Well, maybe for people in high rise city apartments with little dogs....but still.

This is cool, but you're right about the male dogs. My pup will lift his leg and who knows where it will land.

I just love everything you come up with...this is a hoot and practical too..for the rougher sex..we need only find ourselves a plastic potted palm tree to place on the astroturf..or some such thing.
Perhaps a shower curtianed enclosure for the 'oops' I missed the plastic palm tree mom..messes.

This is either a really cool idea or really gross. I'm too tired to figure out which one right now, though.

Wizdog is the same thing, only it costs $40, not $500 and a better concept. No grass:)

I guess it took an intelligent person to come up with the idea and the fact that knowbody else has is amazing, I guess in reallity we all sit around searching for answers on how to improve our income while it may look silly i have no doubt he is now a millionaire from it " what are you doing"?

Your article was very interesting to read. As a dog breeder with 6 Yorkie housemates my life has it's share of training problems. In my puppy exercise pen I use something called a PetaPotty and I love it. The puppies begin using it right away with a minimum of training. I wouldn't trade my pack of Yorkies and litters of puppies for a more carefree life. I can't imagine life without them.

Synthetic grass can get hot in full sun, especially in dry climates. And I read an article that the expected lifetime of a synthetic grass is hard to define.

Ha ha. While that synthetic grass looks real to a human, my poodle didn't want to even WALK on it much less piddle, poo or anything else. Thank goodness I could return it. Maybe for a puppy during potty training but not very useful for a mature dog who knows what real grass is.

This is the fact that future of lawn is artificial turf as the latest synthetic turf technology with great attributes to product strategy provide long term, worry free enjoyment. Synthetic grass is a great solution for parking lots, road medians and other hard to reach areas.

this is great I have a small back yard and some times I work late and don't make it home on time and have to pay the neighbors to take care of my dogs so this will be a great solution if I can get my dog to use it, thanks for the post I keep you updated on how it works
