Artificial Grass Girl

We basically fell into the pet potty pad business.  We were receiving frequent requests for tiny patches of turf.  We finally figured out that most of these requests were coming from pet owners living in apartments or condominiums, or they had a situation in which they needed to leave their pet inside their homes for an extended period of time.  One of our partners also lives in a condo and owns 2 small chihuahuas.  So he decided to take a remnant piece of artificial grass home and try it out.  He had been using the disposable pet pads on his balcony, but was tiring of looking at their mess.  Also, there were not completely potty trained yet and was hoping the turf would somehow help.

He placed the artificial grass on top of the disposable pad.  And to our amazement, the two dogs took right to the turf!  It's as if they have some instinct to do their thing on grass, even if its synthetic grass.  Who knew?  What is it about grass that draws the dogs to it?  I don't have the answer, but we have had several customers send  us glowing reviews of our pet potty pads say that as soon as they put the pad in front of the dog, it did its deed immediately.  Go figure.

From there we did some research and found out that we were not the only ones who have figured this out.  There are several varieties of artificial grass pet potties.  Some come with trays and other contraptions.  We are probably the simplest, and therefore, the cheapest option out there.  We found the most common sizes of disposable pet pads and cut the artificial grass to fit on top of them. 

Another benefit of our potty pad is that the disposable pet pad beneath the turf lasts for up to 2 weeks. This can probably be attributed to the fact that we sell high end artificial turf, not the stuff that you can buy at the big box stores.  Our ultra-dense artificial grass has drainage holes in the backing, is treated with an anti-bacterial solution, and easily cleaned off with a hose.
