Go-on-the-Go
The green pet toilet holds a square patch of sod or synthetic grass where Fido can pee and poop at home in peace, providing an easy clean up. For people who share small living quarters with their pets, are too busy to take regular walks, or like to keep their yard poop-free, this small grassy spot does the job and eliminates the waste of disposable pads. Finicky cats prefer going on the grass too, according to a PETaPOTTY testimony, which is great news for people who need a kitty litter substitute, such as pregnant women and allergy sufferers.
