Dogs form strong preferences about what they will toilet on, and grass usually wins. If you live in a flat, work long hours, or have a puppy who cannot yet last the walk to the park, an artificial grass mat gives them a surface they recognise. It also helps enormously with dogs who refuse to use a flat paper pad.
Key Benefits
- Grass texture matches what most dogs already prefer
- Drains through to a tray below rather than pooling
- Rinses and washes rather than being thrown away
- Odour-control treatment on the fibres
Best For
- Flats and apartments with a balcony
- Puppies not yet able to hold on for a full walk
- Older or unwell dogs who cannot get outside reliably
How It Works
Liquid passes through the synthetic blades and the perforated backing into a tray underneath, keeping the surface the dog stands on relatively dry. Rinse it after use and give it a proper wash regularly; the odour treatment slows smell down, it does not remove the need to clean.
Pros and Cons
Pros: The best chance of success with a dog who will not use paper pads, and it saves a fortune in disposables.
Cons: It needs rinsing after every use and a real wash weekly, or it will smell. Doing this in a flat is exactly as unappealing as it sounds.
Things to Consider
- Rinse after every use – the odour treatment delays smell, it does not prevent it
- Check whether a drainage tray is included; some listings sell the grass alone
- A dog trained onto grass indoors may take longer to generalise to going outside
- Prices, availability and shipping times are set by the AliExpress seller and can change
