Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this for my small breed puppy. I was using puppy pads but wanted to save money and help the environment by trying this instead. After trying it for just over 2 months I really wouldn't recommend it. First of all, it's 100% made of plastic, so I don't know why it's so expensive. I can get plastic litter pans with metal grids for my rabbits for $12 so I really don't know why one for my dog was $50. It's also very thin. I tried using it with newspapers under the grid, but it made my bathroom smell horribly like dog pee, even when I replaced the paper after every time my puppy went. I tried it with a few different types of litter, including pine pellets, but the thing is so thin that I wasn't able to put a thick enough layer of litter. The pee just soaks the whole bottom of the tray and then the pee soaked litter sticks to the bottom of the tray so instead of just being able to scoop up the pee soaked areas, I had to empty and scrub the whole thing or else it would smell. So much for saving money. About the only thing that worked well for me to use to line the bottom of this thing was Puppy Pads, which was what I was trying to get away from in the first place! It's such a pain to clean this thing too. If it's pee I can just rinse it but my puppy was sick for awhile and it was horrible cleaning his loose poo out from the cracks in the grid, gross! Another thing is that this tray has no edges so a lot of the time my dog will accidentally hang his back end off the end of it and miss the tray completely. And I don't know how my male dog would use this once he starts lifting his leg to pee? Honestly it was such a pain I went out and got another thing of Puppy Pads. I think I'm going to try a different dog litter box - one with high sides and a deeper tray. I really wish I didn't spend so much money on this thing.
