So easy! I was doing doggy lawn, but got over having to change it out every month and how gross that was. This is way better and will save you money in the long run, and it’s way easier to maintain. Love it!

We previously had artificial turf directly laying on our 5th floor balcony and the smell was horrendous. The drainage system allows us to direct the flow to a spot under our balcony deck which goes into a building drainage system.

We love it for our Rosie !

Terrific product. Purchased 2 years ago. It has survived the Texas sun and two 85 lb golden retrievers! 10/10 would recommend.

We just brought home a French Bulldog puppy and it has so far been going very well with her potty training. She has had very few accidents in her first week home. The weather has been cold and wet so having the Porch Potty has made things much easier for us and for her.

Only thing I wish is that there were different options for drainage hose length. For my property I needed a totally longer length of hose. I honestly needed a custom length. Instead I had to figure out something that would work and buy a whole seperate hose system.

Easy to put together, difficult to train the pups to use. We are on week one and they hate it. They won’t even get up on it unless I put them there. Definitely recommend this for puppies but not for older dogs. Ours are 3 & 5 and so far it’s been a huge waste of my money.

Unfortunately, there porch potty has not been working well for my older dog. We purchased it in hopes that he would go on it rather than on our new home's concrete deck. I believe he finds it too small (he is a 55 pound dog) and I think he finds the sprinklers to be in his way. So far we have limited success. I would advise others to consider getting the larger size option and without sprinklers if you have a larger dog. Quality is good though!

Box arrived with a hole in it items inside were not secured. The sprinkler system leaks from underneath and the sprinklers spray out too far so the entire porch gets wet.. it’s also not ideal for smaller dogs because of the height.

Not only is this the best dog potty I've tried, the customer service is SUPERB! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good bathroom option for their pups!

This is such a great system. It’s easy to set up and use and the customer service is awesome!!

Amazing! Super easy set up!

The Porch Potty has been a game-changer for our daily routine! We started out with the synthetic sod, which seemed like a bit too much of a change for our pups. As soon as we switched to the natural training sod, our senior pup (Jack Russell) took to using it quickly and comfortably. We may have to get a second for our other larger pup... Also, we have to call out that we had accidentally placed an order for the smaller natural sod and one of the Customer Support Representatives had noticed this mistake and kindly reached out to double-check before the order shipped. We were able to receive the correct order in a timely manner. We were highly impressed by that!! Awesome product, stellar service, and quick shipping. We are very happy customers!

The drainage pipe is missing a part which, so far, the company has refused to supply. So the entire unit is unusable.

This is a really awesome design for dogs to use for my fur babies. They picked up quickly to use the restroom. Thank you so much for creating such an awesome potty for all the dogs.

Terrible customer service! Package was lost in the UPS process. I had to go out and purchase another item and I told porch potty that the package was lost and I no longer wanted it. They delivered it and I had to pay $120 to return it! No reimbursement from the company.

This is a great product and better than any other I have found out there but needs some improvements to be 5 stars and really useful. We have ours on a fenced side yard at the beach, the hose snakes out to our outdoor unfenced patio. The drain is way too slow as many others here have complained about as well. For larger dogs, the amount of urine produced in a single go (we have a 75lb Labrador) takes at least 5+ minutes to empty through this tiny, super slow drain that is fit for a toy poodle at best. The urine pools up in the tiny drain well that holds maybe 3 oz. of liquid then sits there barely moving down, while the other 10 oz. of urine spreads out in-between the turf and plastic base waiting it's turn to get to that tiny well to be able to drain out. When it's warm outside, it dries before it can even get to the drain. It ends up sitting in that tight space so long that in only a matter of 3 days it creates this white 'uric acid' thick, gooey disgusting crust that smells rancid. There is no drain or hose clog here. This is how it's designed and it's sure it works great in the XS and Small size for tiny dogs. The drain should match the size of dog and product and instead all sizes use the same exact drain. Big flaw. The sprinklers are useless because the only way to get this thing clean is to completely remove the turf and scrub the old, white crusty urine that could not drain off both the underside of the turf and plastic base with soap and a stiff brush every 4-5 days to keep it clean and not stinky. I've tried manually turning on the sprinklers (after making certain there are no solids there) and even hosing it off but the drain is so slow, it just swirls around forever spreading it around even worse. I have to literally upturn the entire potty base sideways to clean it as the drain is so slow it would take 20 minutes to wait for the crust to drain (and possibly clog the hose), then do round 2, 3 and 4 to really get that stuff out of there. PLEASE listen to your user feedback and make a faster drain for the large sizes. There are many others on here complaining about the same thing. Otherwise, this product has been great.

I recently purchased The Porch Potty, and I wish I had known about it sooner! Living in a condo with an open backyard overlooking a golf course, it was challenging for my two elderly dogs to go outside for potty breaks. This product is an absolute game-changer! I used to rely on potty pads, but The Porch Potty is so much better. It's conveniently placed right outside our French doors on the patio, making it easy for my dogs to step out and do their business. It's also incredibly easy to clean, which is a huge plus. I highly recommend The Porch Potty to anyone looking for a convenient and brilliant solution for their pets. It's been a lifesaver for us!

Absolutely love it.

Easy to install and the quality is treat. Attractive to look at and the Porch Potty fits perfectly on the patio/balcony. It is expensive but worth the money spent due to my living situation.

Too small

Suitable for smaller dogs, but does not accommodate larger dogs.

Not worth the $299

Don’t waste your money if you have a large dog. I would love to return this it does not work with my dogs.

I love the idea, but it does not drain properly. The urine sits in the pan and smells terrible in a matter of days. I use turf spray and hose it off regularly, but unless I remove the turf and place the hose directly over the drain for a few seconds, the urine will just puddle up. If I spray water on the turf, it just fills up the pan and (very) slowly drains but not fully. I initially had the sprinklers, but they leaked and stained my balcony tile. I thought maybe my potty was defective, but when I told the company, they did not offer a replacement. They recommended I instead purchased another pan without the sprinklers. I would contact the company again for the pan not draining, but they would probably just recommend I buy another replacement pan. I do not want to spend $100 more on an expensive product that does not work. Must be a flawed design… I am disappointed because my dogs have no issue using the porch potty. I still have it on our balcony and the dogs use it, it is just a lot of work trying to keep the stench down. Again, I love the concept… it just doesn’t drain and smells really bad.

I was really skeptical, but desperate! I’m so glad I purchased the porch potty! I have two senior dachshunds who can’t see and can’t go up or down stairs. Recently, I moved into a new house with a deck, and the only way to get to the grass is to go down six steps. I was having to carry them up and down the stairs every time they went outside, as it’s winter now this is not something I look forward to doing! The porch potty was the perfect solution! At first they wouldn’t go on it but as soon as I got the real grass, they went right away. I have it right outside the door so as soon as I open the door up they step right onto the porch potty, go, and run back inside!

The porch potty is great. It drains the urine and I pick up the poop easily from the grass but I didn’t like that the one that comes with the sprinklers that wash it off if you decide not to use it then there are 2 spots that end up being holes where the urine can drop or poop to drop from the porch potty to the bottom and then you are stuck with poop to find underneath the potty.

i never received my full order. i emailed the issue, and they sent me a “sprinkler support beam” instead of the parts i said that i was missing. so basically paid $300 for a base and some grass, what a scam.

A fantastic product! It has helped us with our new puppy immensely. We keep the potty on the balcony outside our bedroom so it saves us running up and down stairs to allow her to go potty. We like the product so well we bought a second for our second home! Really serves a great purpose!

Conceptually I love the idea behind this. It’s exactly what we were looking for when we moved with our maltipoo. However, I was anticipating it being larger than it was. It’s convenient for us because it doesn’t take up a lot of space, but it’s not as welcoming when he goes #1 and has #2 in the chamber. He has gotten a little better about it but we’re still on the fence if we’re going to keep it or not. Lastly, I would recommend using a different plastic to get better seals. It’s fairly flimsy if we do keep it I’ll definitely replace it.

Great product for emergencies specially in the Florida heat with my bulldogs and when it is thundering, since they get scared.

The Porch Potty is the BEST investment I have ever made. I live on the second floor with two small dogs. The Porch Potty has made our lives so much easier, keeps the dogs clean, and works perfectly. I now can have my Mom and my in-laws watch the dogs because they don't have to go up and down the stairs. I recently renovated my entire home,. and this was the best purchase made! I highly recommend it. Bella and Wookie said they love it too.

Even though I have a big yard, I wanted to give my puppy a designated shady potty spot away from where we lounge and play. We are all really happy with the Premium model and puppy took to it right away. It's big enough that he has his favorite spots for #1 and #2. One thing I wish were better: when I first hooked up the sprinklers, they were WAY too strong, spraying several feet beyond the porch potty in all directions. It took two conversations with customer service to get the situation resolved - they directed me to search Youtube for "how to adjust sprinklers on Porch Potty" which instructed me how to make the adjustment fairly easily, once I located an appropriately sized tiny screwdriver.

This porch potty is the best Beautifully made and designed. We also got the canopy and the ramp. I would recommend this to anyone. Thanks Chris F.

it's great

Great

We believe this will help us out

One of the pieces delivered was broken. I’d say 5/5 if you guys could replace it.

Overpriced. But exactly as described.

Item as advertised. Arrived quickly.

Easy to assemble, works and looks great.

My dog is 80lbs. This holds great. The only down side is the premium states a sprinkler water timer is available to buy. but it not on the website to buy.

I haven’t set it up yet. Puppy coming in December

This is my second porch potty purchase. The first one lasted for 4 years on my upstairs balcony exposed to the elements. My dogs love it as an alternative to making the long trek downstairs, or when I am gone. I did upgrade the plastic hose configuration from stock to outdoor sprinkler grade PVC pipe, as the stock plastic hoses had a tendency to leak. If it came with PVC with the kit I'd give it 5 stars for sure.

Great option for an indoor training facility in a city location with no outdoor access to potty dogs. The addition of the real grass further helped dogs in training have a convenient spot to potty on command.

This is the perfect solutions for dogs owners living in an apartment, home with balcony limitations, etc. I wake up and let my lab out to the balcony to use the Porch Potty every morning. This gives me the time I need get dressed for our walk before work and it's easy to keep clean! I bought one for my neighbor that can't get around very well right now and it has made her life so much easier.

Really great

Easy to assemble! Working on the training now.

The irrigation pipeline underneath ours cracked clean through the first time our 75lb dog stepped on it. For $300, expected better construction than that. Otherwise it looks very nice, the exterior materials are nice, just the plumbing needs improvement.

Works great. Didn't take long for our two dogs to figure it out

It was creating a bad odor even if we drain and rinse the potty several times a day. We tried to contact customer support but they did not help at all.

I think offering a timer for the sprinklers to be included would be a good addition!!

dog does not use

Porch Potty works as described, would highly recommend.

Love it

Best option for folks with patios and no grass. The water line is long and reached the drain on my patio just fine. It doesn't smell like urine anymore since I was able to snake the water line far enough into the drain to keep the drain from stinking too. Great buy. Don't waste your money on anything else.

We put two together to make a more substantial place for our 60lb dog. It kinda works. The sprinkler system is great! Helps to keep it cleaned after she uses it. Took her awhile to get the hang of it but once she did, is works well!

Great idea, very happy I discovered this product.

I think the product is very convenient and works well, but has some slight quirks like leaking.

Works great.

Naaaaaaaaaa

Easy to install and works great for patios.

Still training our pups to use this, but we like the size and how this product comes with its own drainage system!

If the website worked

This is my second time purchasing this. The first one lasted over 8 years. It's amazing and I love it.

For the price, the construction is terrible! The holes don't line up. Its like every product they make was built on Friday before a holiday. I bought the premium and I seriously can't understand why such a simple design doesn't drain correctly. Our pup actually uses it, but if you are handy at all, build your own. At least it's pretty....

Great service! They shipped immediately. Since it was a Christmas gift it did sit by the tree for a couple weeks before it was open, so when opened and saw that there was a broken piece we were a little worried we wouldn't get a replacement. They responded that same day and said a replacement would be there within a couple of days. This is a great customer service company!

This has been a night time life saver with my new puppy!

It's a great product.. but the live grass does not work well. Clogged the drain and hadd to throw the real grass away after 5 days .

We love the PorchPotty! Our Husky took to it right away. It's clean, perfect size, and looks great.

Hello, Let me start off by saying, I really wanted the porch potty to fix our issue of not having an easy way to fence in our new yard. I want to address the positive things before the important things; The drain pan has a great shape/design to funnel away urine and water. Positive- It looks nice; when I had an issue putting it together and a piece snapped while rotating it to hook up to a hose they replaced it free of charge and no questions asked; customer service was great for a replacement part; the drain pan has a great shape/design to funnel away urine and water. Negative- looks can be deceiving, it is made of extremely cheap quality for over $300 product. The sprinklers work, but they only get the astro turf slightly wet as they are coming on and as they are shut off, no rinsing occurs because they are yard or plant sprinklers and shoot 6-10 feet out (the potty is 2’x 4’), so if your dog pees in the vicinity around the actual porch potty then it will get wet. I have to spray the turf down with an enzyme cleaner and hose it down directly in order to keep it clean (the sprinkler system is pointless and for show). The pan is going to crack when it gets cold and the dogs step on it, it should have been made out of fiberglass (like a tub or shower base) but it’s just molded plastic. Recommendations- It needs to be BIGGER (3’x3’ but really 4’x4’ or bigger), with one sprinkler in the middle and a drain on the end. The sprinkler should hit the entire surface of the grass to soak and drain away all of the urine and most of the smell. It needs some sort of edge to minimize pee splatter and maybe keep the sprinkler water contained to the potty itself. I really wanted this to be what it is advertised as. But it is not. However, I think porch potty has a chance to improve this product and make it worth the money spent. It’s a great idea, but they struck out on execution. I hope this is constructive enough for Porch Potty to go back to the drawing board and improve. Respectfully, Terry

We have no grass in our backyard. This has been awesome for training our new puppy.

Abbie loves it. Thanks!

At first, my little pup would stand on it and just stare at me. My method for getting him to use it was to put up a little fence about 3x the size of the porch potty, with the porch potty inside the fence. And leave him alone. Don’t stare at him!

Having difficulty getting my dog to use it. Hopefully the live sod will work

Porch potty is great however the sprinkler system is terrible. It either dribbles out not getting any of the turf or sprays strongly all over the space surrounding. Definitely need to reinvent the sprinkler system. Purchase the standard don’t waste your time or money on the premium.

First shipment parts were missing. This needs sturdier tray holder, or more zip tie locations. I had to order my own water timer from an outside source as your company has a product on the site that is currently not being sold. All in all this is proving to not be worth what I paid for it. Your customer service person didn’t pay attention to what I said and sent me the missing parts as well as a new topper. I didn’t need a new topper I stated it needed a better holding structure. Disappointing

My dogs picked up on using this almost immediately. Once my first pup went, everyone had to follow. Love the size of it also. I have the live sod.

Dog loves it and it self cleans! Super sturdy and cute.

It seemed like an amazing idea! Put it together, dog used it fine and everyone was happy! Then realized the drain doesn't work very well, and left the grass flooded. Had to pull the grass up in order for the drain to drain. Then, after about the 4th or 5th use, the tray fell through. My dog is smaller than a lab, right around our just less than 40lbs. She doesn't like stepping on flooded grass or using it when it's not stable and falls through the middle. Please reinforce the base. Contacted customer service to see if there's anything to fix these issues.

My dog learned to go on this artificial grass right away and it has been a lifesaver paired with a doggie door.

still can't get my dog to use it....purchased some spray still nothing...not sure if its a good buy or not...

Impossible to train my dog. I have followed all the steps. Nothing has worked thus far.

This is a great product. Our only complaint is that the sprinklers spray not only the grass but also the whole area around. We'd turn down the water pressure but then the sprinklers don't pop up.

Drain needs redesign, easily broken.

Amazing product, excellent customer service.

Greatly enjoyed having my dogs use the product until the condo association where I live blamed the dog urine being drained into the balcony drain pipe as the cause of a pipe leak that leaked into the balcony framing. It is going to be a costly usage of a dog potty as they now want to attribute the costs of repair to me for having the potty drain into the drain pipe as suggested.

It’s easy to setup and only took a couple days for my pup to get used to it. Now he goes to it without needing directions when he need to pee.

A lifesaver if you work full time & have a dog.

Drilled holes did not fit twist ties correctly, one water sprinkler was not in proper working order and seemed to be broken, hose tip was stripped and only could hang on by one thread. Drilled the holes to fit twist ties, ourselves (and this was done with our first Porch Potty that we ordered a short time ago). We are being sent replacements for broken items.

We received the porch potty but have not set it up yet. So I couldn't give it five stars yet.

Excellent product, excellent appeal and excellent customer service.

Great solution for dog homes with patio or porch! My puppy likes the extra space. Red hydrant got chewed up already, unfortunately.

My dog doesn’t have any interest in the porch potty

Good

2nd one I’ve owned - their awesome!

Excellent buy!

Great customer service!
