When the folks at DoggieLawn contacted me and asked me if I’d like to check out a box, I was totally intrigued. In case you don’t know, DoggieLawn is a monthy subscription service designed to make bathroom trips for you and your dog easier. As a subscriber, you’ll real grass delivered right to your doorstep every week or every other week so your dog always has a place to go. It’s $15/box (plus shipping) for the standard size (which is what we received) and $20/box for the doggielawn plus. It’s perfect for house training a puppy, apartment life, cold or rainy weather and is a great eco-friendly alternative to puppy pads.
DoggieLawn ships via FedEx Ground and comes in a huge box. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it was big. And although it clearly says “ALWAYS lay packages FLAT” it was totally propped up on my Porch when I got home from up-north over the weekend, which made me a tad bit scared to open it!
Alas, I shouldn’t have been worried. The grass arrived in perfect condition. And I don’t know what I was expecting, but it was real grass! I mean I read the information online about it, but I was still surprised. And although it had been in transit for a few days and sat on my porch overnight (on end actually), it was as if it had just been watered. Amazing. B was even like wait, this is real grass!!
Instead of an information card, DoggieLawn includes a sheet of tips to get you started. The tips include prepping the grass with scent, consistency, positive reinforcement, supervision, grass care and training aids. All great ideas and very helpful since we’ve never seen or used a product like this.
Baxter and Buddy still aren’t sure what to think about this, but I am going to keep working on them. And by them I mean Buddy since he’s the one who likes to have accidents in the house. Yeah, he’s 6 and still has accidents. Seriously Buddy, come on. I hear it’s common with yorkies, but still? Maybe this could solve everything though?
What do you think of DoggieLawn? Is it something you (and your dog) could use? They use something similar to this on cruise ships for service dogs (we saw it in a corner of the walking deck) and thought it was genius and so is this. I never really thought about how service dogs on cruise ships, at malls, etc. used the bathroom. Luckily people like DoggieLawn did!!
