For the moments your dog needs to go now
A cleaner potty routine for real life with dogs.
Some potty breaks are easy. Others happen during a storm, a midnight wake-up, a long elevator wait, a puppy training day, or a moment when your dog needs to go right away. Porch Potty CORE gives your dog a familiar potty spot close to home, so they have a comfortable option when quick access matters.
Built-In CORE Features
Freshness is built into the system.
A good dog potty needs to work after the first week, not just the first day. CORE is designed to support a cleaner long-term routine with quick-draining grass, an elevated tray design, and two included ways to manage liquid waste.
Built to Support Dogs Up to 150 lbs
CORE’s durable base supports dogs weighing up to 150 lbs, giving small, medium, and large dogs a sturdy place to go.
Improved Tray Design
The raised tray design improves airflow beneath the grass and guides liquid away from the surface toward your selected drainage option, helping support faster drainage and a fresher potty area.
Two Included Drainage Options
Use the high-flow drainage hose to direct liquid toward a suitable gutter or runoff area, or collect it in the extra-large catch basin with a carry handle, easy-pour spout, and twist cap.
Style Built Into the System
The included weather-resistant, quick-lock wrap gives CORE a more finished look, so your dog’s potty space feels more connected to your patio, balcony, porch, mudroom, or outdoor living style.
How It Works
Simple for dogs. Easier for you.
CORE gives your dog a reliable grass-like place to go at home while helping liquid waste drain away from the surface, with two included options for where it goes next.
1
Your dog steps onto grass
The grass-like surface feels familiar and helps create a clear potty place for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs.
2
Choose where liquid goes
The angled tray system moves liquid away from the grass. Connect the high-flow drainage hose to direct it toward a suitable gutter or runoff area, or let it collect in the extra-large catch basin.
3
You refresh as needed
Pick up solid waste and rinse the grass regularly. If using the catch basin, empty it based on your dog’s use; if using the hose, keep the drainage path clear.

A better routine than pads
A more polished alternative to disposable pee pads and temporary grass patches.
Pee pads can feel messy, disposable, and hard to keep out of sight. Temporary grass patches can be difficult to maintain over time. Instead of relying on products made to be thrown away or frequently replaced, CORE is designed as a reusable, polished grass dog potty system for pet parents who want an at-home option that fits their home and their standards.
More natural-feeling than pads
A grass-like surface gives dogs a clearer potty cue.
Two ways to manage liquid
Direct liquid to suitable runoff with the drainage hose or collect it in the included catch basin.

FAQs
Questions dog owners ask before choosing CORE.
What is Porch Potty CORE?
CORE is a premium grass dog potty system that gives dogs a natural-feeling place to go at home. It is designed for balconies, patios, porches, apartments, condos, puppy training, bad weather, and dog owners who want a cleaner alternative to pee pads.
Will my dog use CORE?
Some dogs take to CORE quickly, while others need time and consistency. Place it somewhere your dog feels comfortable, let them explore it, and use a familiar cue like “Go potty.” You can wipe the included scenting fire hydrant with a small amount of your dog’s urine to encourage their natural marking instinct. For more help, CORE includes the FREE H.A.B.I.T. Method training guide, and you can find additional expert advice on the Porch Potty blog.
Does CORE smell?
Any dog potty needs regular care, but CORE is designed to support a cleaner routine with quick-draining, rinse-friendly grass and a improved tray design that helps move liquid away from the surface. Regular rinsing, routine emptying, and grass replacement help keep the potty area fresher over time.
How do I clean CORE?
Pick up solid waste and rinse the grass regularly based on your dog’s use. Empty the catch basin as needed, or keep the drainage hose and its runoff path clear. For added odor control, apply Piss Off odor eliminator to damp grass after rinsing, following the product directions. Synthetic grass should be refreshed or replaced when your routine calls for it.
What size dogs can use CORE?
CORE is designed to support dogs weighing up to 150 lbs.
How can I get replacement grass?
You can purchase replacement synthetic grass whenever you need it or enroll in a grass replacement subscription for convenient recurring deliveries.
Can CORE be used indoors?
Yes. CORE can be used indoors in apartments, condos, mudrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and garages, as long as the setup fits your space and is cleaned regularly based on your dog’s use. The included catch basin collects liquid beneath the system for easy emptying.
How is CORE different from CLASSIC Porch Potty models?
CORE is designed as a more modular and customizable Porch Potty system. It includes a weather-resistant wrap, multiple wrap color choices, and two drainage options: a high-flow drainage hose and an extra-large catch basin.
Will CORE work with future updates?
CORE is designed as a modular base system that can support select CORE-compatible feature updates as they become available. Availability, timing, and compatibility details may vary by update.
Can I customize how CORE looks?
Yes. CORE includes a weather-resistant wrap with a quick-lock buckle, and you can choose from brown, beige, or black wrap options.
Is CORE good for apartment balconies?
Yes. CORE is especially helpful for apartment and condo living because it gives your dog a nearby potty spot for moments when quick access is helpful, such as rainy mornings, late nights, puppy training, or urgent potty needs.
Does CORE replace dog walks?
No. CORE is designed to provide a comfortable potty spot close to home when outside is not simple or your dog needs quick access. Regular walks can still remain part of your dog’s exercise, fresh air, enrichment, and bonding routine.
