Highlighted Reviews
"This really is a great little patch of grass. Perfect for the office. Unfortunately, our little one prefers the puppy pads to the grass patch so this isn't going to work out for us."
"I was so excited for this product and she took to it immediately, but the odor is unbearable. It is 100% worse than the odor we had when using puppy pads."
Bottom Line
If you're looking for a temporary solution and can tolerate the downsides, DoggieLawn might work. However, consider alternatives if odor and durability are important factors.
