Product Description
Pup-HeadTM Portable Dog Potty
***Gulfcoast Pet Supplies is an AUTHORIZED dealer of the Pup Head Potty.***
20 X 30" x 1.5, 5 lbs
Featuring Pup-GrassTM
Dogs dont have to step up, or on to a Platform. Pup-HeadTM is almost level with the ground. In addition, the patent pending scent makes the Pup-HeadTM irresistible to dogs. (Disclaimer: Not all dogs will automatically use the potty, this may require training on your end to teach your dog to use this portable potty.)
Pup-HeadTM is easy to clean and weighs less than 5 lbs. It is a perfect solution for boats, recreational vehicles, apartments, high-rise buildings and cold weather climates. Elderly and handicapped pet owners, anyone who may be unable to take their dogs outdoors several times a day, will love Pup-HeadTM.
Your Pup-HeadTM Portable Dog Potty features a unique artificial surface, Pup-GrassTM. This custom-tufted product is designed to fit in the Pup-HeadTM tray.
IMPORTANT: Pup-GrassTM mats do not have finished edges. If the mat is cut on the tuft, it is normal for fibers to shed at the edges. Some shedding is normal, and should subside. Edges can be heat-sealed using a long neck lighter. Please use caution when using an open flame. Apply heat approximately one inch from the edge, just until the material begins to curl.
Additional items that compliment this are the Pup Head REUSABLE absorbent pads that are washable use to 300 times - available in our amazon store.
**Please note: This item is not returnable or refundable FOR ANY REASON due to sanitary purposes. This is a training device and some dogs will require training to use this item. If your dog does not use it, we still cannot accept a return due to sanitary reasons.**

 A solution for dogs at sea!! October 5, 2009

We've always had to leave our dogs at home when we anchor our boat out overnight because of the potty issue. Our 14 year old dogs were never going to take to an artificial solution, but our new puppy took to the PupHead like it was the most natural thing in the world. This past rainy weekend, while all our dock buddies were traipsing up to a patch of grass in the rain with their dogs, we stepped out on our covered cockpit with the puppy, said "Go potty", and it was over! We're the envy of the dock! And thank goodness, since the new puppy has to go potty 5 times a night!
I liked it so much, I wanted two more for the house. Apparently I placed my order twice. Gulf Coast thought the double order looked odd, so they actually called me to confirm what I really wanted. They averted the problem before it ever happened, and now I don't have to worry about returning the two I never meant to order.
Great product, great service, great company. And Happy Dogs!
PS: Easy clean up, and practically odor free sitting on an open-air cockpit.
Brilliant! September 20, 2009

I recently moved to a third floor apartment with my two small adult dogs who are well house trained. When working longer hours i have come home to puddles on the floor as the older dog is a bit incontinent after bladder surgery. I was hopeful that this would work, because when given the choice they will pee on a rug over the bare floor!
It took a bit for the dogs to be interested in it, upon getting the item i put treats on and around the potty and rewarded them for walking on it. The first night they did not seem interested in it, so during their next morning walk i took the grass mat and tried to get them to use it outside. No go, but i figured if i rubbed it around in the actual grass (especially where other dogs peed...a bit gross, i know) they would associate the scent with actually going outside. I also brought a bit of real grass inside to place on the potty.
I came home from work that night to lift up the mat and see that one of them did in fact use it while i was gone! Subsequent days have produced the same results and no puddles on the floor at all! Of course they get their regular walks but it alleviates the feelings of guilt when you have to be gone all day at work and there's no one to let the pets out. I would think that a puppy pad under the grass would allow for easier clean up, i haven't really had a problem without it though. I am very happy with this item!

I had initially tried the UGODOG but my dog didn't take to it well. He used it but he never did quite hit the spot, so to speak. His hiney kept hanging off getting poop and urine on the floor. No matter how many times I tried to get him to use it right. This is probably mainly because he's large and I guessed he never felt like he had enough space to use it. I also got tired of dumping the urine in the toilet. It got to be very messy and difficult to deal with.
Ultimately, I stopped using the UGODOG because of that. After months of returning to newspaper I decided to give another pet potty a chance (this one), but I knew I needed something bigger. This is one of the few potties out there that cater to bigger dogs. I mean really cater to them. After doing a mock measurement of their largest potty (30x40) I decided to get it because I was absolutely confident my dog would use it.
On the first day my dog used it with no trouble at all. I put the potty in "his spot" where he normally uses it, put a few sheets of newspaper on top just so he would get the point and no problem. He used it with no second guessing. After that, I no longer used the newspaper because he would be familiar with his scent after that and where he went.
I purchased 2 absorbent pads for it. At first, I thought they looked awfully thin and flimsy and wouldn't do the trick. But boy was I wrong. Those things worked wonders. I think I let him pee on that thing (potty) for 5 days in a row before it started smelling. Lazy I know. I'll be cleaning it about every 2 days from now on but had been so busy I didn't get to it until I had no choice but to.
I should also mention that I take my dog out for a morning walks so he usually only uses it in th evenings. So the 5 days I let him use it aren't really equivalent to 5 actual going days. More like 2-3 days--counting in one of the days I didn't take him out at all.
I am so happy with this product. I've dealt with stinky pee smelling carpet, crapping on the floor and awkward trips to the bathroom to dump other dog potties. I'd even tried dumping the urine of previous dog potties in a bucket. If anything, that was one of the main reasons I purchased this potty. No awkward trips. Just grab the absorbent pads, put them in the washer and clean the artificial turf in the bathtub. None of either were drenched in urine--dripping all over the place (gross right?). I let out a sigh of relief after seeing that and my opinion of this product went up about 2 notches, because when I first got it I was convinced I'd got another UGODOG that I'd have to fight with and ultimately would end up not using.
So summarily, I purchased this potty because it works great for large dogs (the larger sized potty) and because I'm not about to keep having pee splash everywhere and stink up my apartment. Even when he used it properly the urine was just ripe. It would swim through the air and my apartment would be stinking all the time and I had to clean it all the time with the UGODOG. That was disgusting. So like another reviewer said, this potty has been a God send. It has for me too. I'm not a particularly lazy dog walker but you can account for your dog having to go all the time. Obviously there's got to be a back-up system that isn't always a huge amount of work and this potty is heaven for me. It's such a relief to have it.
Lastly, I recommend you get at least 4 absorbent pads for the large sized potty or 2 for the regular sized ones for the normal sized potty, so you can rotate them when you're cleaning them. If you have a dryer, you can get away with one set, but if you're air drying them, you'll mostly need an extra set. Depends on the situation I think, but an extra set will likely make it easier in the end.

This might have worked better if I started the dogs younger but they just seem to pull the grass mat of and play with it. For someone starting out this is a very good idea.
 not useful April 5, 2009
Don Zweig (modesto, ca United States)
My puppy ignores it. No pee or poo in a month (on it). NOt worth the price of postage.
