Laurie M.

LOVE this is exactly what we dreamed of! It looks very nice, out two small Shih-Tzu’s love it and I just water it daily!! Simply the best gif our small porch!!!

D D.

This has made life a bit easier for us in raising a puppy. Not having to leave the apartment first thing in the morning because I can take him out on the porch is wonderful. I don't mind any of the other walks, but that first thing in the morning one is now just out to our porch! Our puppy is 11 weeks old and getting the hang of it. He went out there on his own for the first time yesterday to poop. We are giving treats for success and he is learning fast.

Trevor .

We’ve tried everything to get our dog to use the porch potty, but unfortunately it just hasn’t worked for us. While the product is a great idea in theory, following all of the instructions and recommended methods still didn’t lead to success — and we recognize that may simply come down to our dog’s preferences. What’s truly disappointing, however, is the company’s rigid return policy. Despite offering a product that, by nature, won’t work for every dog, they are unwilling to issue refunds or accept returns. Retailers like Chewy and PetSmart understand that pet products can be hit or miss and stand behind their customers when something doesn’t work out. Sadly, this company does not. Overall, we’re frustrated not only with the product’s performance but also with the lack of flexibility and customer support.

Ashley J.

Super easy to clean, love the drainage system. Stylish and effective- a great way for our senior dog to use the potty in our second floor condo!

Quinee

The cutomer service of this company is above average. I had something wrong with my order and they rectified the situation so smoothly and quickly. Set up was a breeze and my pups are already using it after a week. Thank you for everything.

Lynn P.

I need to return this. It is not level. My dog will not get on it.

Taylor

Amazing for potty training a puppy in an apartment. Perfect size for a small dog. The catch basin is super helpful to keep it in a larger spare bathroom.

Chuck T.

Perfect for my Grand daughters apartment. Her dog had no problem adjusting to the porch potty.

beatrice f.

I am not happy with this product but loved the lager one I have had for five years. It is great and works very well on small patio. This one has an oder and my dog won't jump on to it. If placed on it he runs away. Will keep on trying.

Dawn T.

I've tried real grass (My dog just digs it up and rips apart and it dries in a few days, even with water), Cork type dog potty (again he rips it apart) - the quality of the porch potty is great! Love the design and how sturdy it is. It took a few days for my dog to take to it but LOVE IT!!!!

Karri

I have two of these and they are a life saver for me. I have a deck off my master bedroom and in the middle of the night when my pup cries I don’t have to run down 3 flights of stairs to take him out. He took to this right away but my other dog did not. At least not yet.

Kayla V.

This thing is literally an overpriced plastic hunk of junk. It stinks in less than 24 hours just like the cheap ones do. I find myself cleaning it a lot more often and it’s a lot more expensive to replace the turf. But there’s not much I can do now because I paid $300 for it already. Also the hose doesn’t fit, AT ALL, but you all already knew that because I heard about it in the reviews. I thought maybe that design flaw would’ve been fixed by now but guess not. This is worthless plastic and shouldn’t cost more than $60. DONT BUY THIS.

Millicent W.

The porch potty draining system (which is what I paid so much for) does not work. It leaked multiple times despite me tightening it (not thinking it was a defective $250 dog potty). Finally, the third time it had leaked urine all over the porch, I realized it had to be the product. I called porch potty customer service. They recognized it was likely a defective part and said the best they could do, was to send me a hose. I said that I would like a partial refund due to the product not working and being defective when received. When they told me that was not possible, I said that I would just return the product then. They then said that was also not possible because the potty had been used. The product had to be used for me to know it was defective... They refunded the shipping, after LENGTHY conversation with the customer service manager and gave me a new hose... a not broken hose, which should have come with the first potty OR I should have been able to return the broken product. Would not buy this product again, and do not suggest it. Their key selling point for the price point is the draining system which doesn't work. So buy the $30 one off of amazon instead and call it a day.

Linda D.

We moved into an apartment while our new home was being built. I didn’t want to walk around the complex in the middle of the night so our little guy could do his business. We researched several options and ended up with the Porch Potty brand. We’ve had it for three years and love it. When we moved into our new home, the Porch Potty went into our screened in patio, but it was in full sun with all the elements of the weather. We just replaced our original with a new one 3 1/2 years later. It’s the perfect solution!

Connie S.

It works! Once I trained by Havanese to use it, it became his "toilet". It is his place to go potty and he know it.

Kiaya W.

Great idea but the company does not have a good return policy. If you buy this unit please be aware that shipping it back costs about $200+ dollars which is why the company does not want to pay for shipping. Porch Potty did not work for us but maybe it will work for you, however mine is currently sitting in my trunk until I can find someone to sell it to.

Joyette H.

I house trained my doodle on a fake grass tray with potty pads beneath it. We recently moved into a condo on the third floor with balcony. I reinstated the fake grass potty tray. Unfortunately, even changing the potty pads underneath every morning, the grass grew stinkier than I liked, with no way to wash it. Replacing the grass pad frequently was getting expensive. I saw the add for Porch Potty and as I have a hose on my patio I thought this was a problem solver. I hooked the drainage hose into the downspout of the gutter and WOW! Simply awesome solution. I hose it daily and no lingering urine smell. My doodle wasn’t crazy about it at first as the surface is not as firm as the old tray was. But she’s used to it now and my patio/balcony is odor free!

HEATHER H.

never received this item, but most definitely billed and charged waited over a month before I filed a chargeback

Daniela A.

It’s pretty, it doesn’t smell as much as a regular potty grass, but it’s way too tall for my small Yorkie, she struggles a lot to jump on it, it’s already too expensive and I had to buy the ramp separate because of it. Pretty annoying but, does the job.

Sammi Chan

Perfect size for my 29 lb dog! It will be going out on my actual porch soon.

Edith Newman

I bought the small one because the large one I purchased a few years ago was too big. I think they are overpriced.

Chelsea Burke

Great purchase, been a life changing living in a tall apt building

lisa clyne

Looks fine on the porch-like porch furniture. Little Burt loves it when it rains. I love it at night.

Beverly Plymel

Great product. Now I just have to figure out how to get Elvis to use it!

Lauren

I’ve tried several other balcony potty options for my dog and because I’m able to clean this daily, this is the only option that hasn’t smelled or attracted flies. Use a cleaning solution of vinegar and water to rinse after each use and spray down with the turf cleaner daily and there has been no smell at all! May seem like a slightly more manual process but well worth it to know my girl has a clean place to go each time and we can still enjoy hanging out on a balcony free from smell and flies!

Jaime Anderson

great quality

Rose

Just moved to Colorado and will be using the Potty Porch on our deck.

Edoll J

The drainage system on this smaller potty is not angled enough to drain, the urine stays on top. Unlike the large porch potty, this design doesn't have the same drainage design that makes the urine flow into the basin. This leads to more cleaning and maintenance. The larger one is better, disappointed that this smaller one doesn't work the same.

Karen Connolly

My chihuahua’s are 12 & 11 now & are showing signs of age. Having trouble going up & down the deck steps. I bought the small porch potty & the small caravan pupup canopy from Amazon fits perfectly on this to give protection from weather. Hard time getting them to go on artificial turf so bought the sod & they are now using it. Sometimes they still choose to go down the steps into the yard but at least now they have a choice.

Tim Perlowski

its pretty good

Erika Aldrich

We moved from a half acre to a top floor apartment, and we worried our dog would not adjust well. The middle of the night potty breaks started and we got nervous. Buying this was the best thing we've done! Skittles loves it and uses it multiple times a day!!!

Roxanne Rosas

It's great

Kimberly Kerlin

So far, it's working. I can't say my dog loves to step up on something to pee, but he's doigreat! The drain system is just great!

Luis Serna

This product is great for what it's intended for. I believe the price is alittle steep but still worth it if it helps with your potty problems. Would recommend to anyone who lives in apartment buildings or high rises

Jessica Reyes

It’s amazing but I do think it’s priced too high

Kathy

Perfect size but our puppy won’t use it. Lots of training ahead.

Sara Deskins

my dog won't go to the bathroom on it :( I tried spray and that didn't work. I tried making him wait to go so he would feel like he had to go there and that didn't work. Not sure what else to do

DoVan

This is the second purchase we have made since we moved countries. It took our dog a bit longer to get use to the new one surprisingly, but with 5 days of consistent training, he is back on track. Extremely helpful. I took one star away as there is the same draining issue for the design. I think the hole and hose could be made wider to help with the rinsing process to keep the potty fresh.

Erika Fitch

It gets the job done but a more rectangular shape would fit better in small areas

Anna Sinegal

Our little puppy uses it like clockwork. Such a good investment.

Kerry O'Hart

Great product!

Carol Segerstrom

Thought pricey. Built a ramp and step for my older (4.5 # poodle. Now shopping for another small female dog to fit my 2’x2’ porch potty.

Jill Brown

Made the difference convenient and inconvenient!!! Love it!

Donna Frizzell

Love the porch potty!!!

Carolyn Rivers

Had the large one before. The small fits our new place

V. Adrian

It's great, the perfect size for our space. My only suggestion would be is to offer the small porch potty with the option of having a sprinkler.

Paige Plunkett

The porch potty is really well made and very nice looking. So glad we made the switch from puppy pads. This was a good purchase.

Aimee

I'm thrilled with this purchase! Due to health issues, I am not as mobile and this is a lifesaver. I've used other alternatives, but this by far is the most efficient, easiest-to-clean potty I've ever used. Training was a breeze.

Paola b.

I’m happy with the quality of the product and the drainage tray works well just as advertised. I have real (living) hydroponic grass in mine and it’s worked without a hitch. It looks cute on my little porch too, definitely recommend this product.

Griselda Juarez

My 8 week puppy was already using the Porch Potty the second day she came home, after 5 days she became a pro and now she knows to go out the balcony. Thanks Porch Potty for making it easy for us !! Excelente producto y mi cachorro de de 8 semanas aprendió al segundo día de llegar a casa, después de 5 días de práctica se volvió una profesional y sabe que tiene que salir al balcón. Gracias Porch Potty por hacernos el trabajo fácil !!

FAQs

Questions dog owners ask before choosing CLASSIC Small.

Does CLASSIC Small require a water hookup?

No. Small is the pour-over CLASSIC model. Use a watering can to rinse evenly across the grass; no permanent outdoor water connection is required.

How do I clean CLASSIC Small?

Pick up solid waste promptly and rinse the synthetic grass evenly with clean water every few days, adjusting the schedule for your dog’s use. Periodically remove the grass so you can wipe or rinse the tray and clean any areas around the base.

Will my dog use CLASSIC Small right away?

Some dogs understand the grass surface quickly, while others need time and consistency. Keep the location consistent, use a familiar potty cue, and follow the included H.A.B.I.T. Method training guide.

Does CLASSIC Small smell?

Any dog potty needs regular care. Pick up solid waste promptly, follow the rinse or grass-care routine for this model, and clean or replace the grass based on use to help the area stay fresher.

What size dogs can use CLASSIC Small?

CLASSIC Small has a 2 ft. × 2 ft. grass surface designed for small dogs and compact spaces. Consider your dog’s body length, turning habits, and preferred potty posture when deciding whether Small offers enough space; dogs that need more room may be better suited to CLASSIC Mega.

Can CLASSIC Small be used indoors?

Yes, when you have an appropriate way to manage runoff. Pair it with the compatible Catch Basin sold separately, empty the basin regularly, and clean the system based on use.

How is Small different from Premium?

Small has a 4-square-foot grass surface; Premium has an 8-square-foot grass surface. Small is rinsed manually with a watering can and does not require an outdoor water hookup. Premium adds built-in pop-up sprinklers and is designed for outdoor spaces with access to a water source.

What should I know about the included synthetic grass?

The updated synthetic grass is designed to improve drainage and may move more easily in the tray depending on how your dog steps onto it. If you need help keeping it in place, contact the Porch Potty support team for the current hold-down solution.

Is CLASSIC Small good for apartment living?

Yes, when its dimensions and liquid-management method fit your space. Review the specifications and confirm you have the required drainage route, catch basin, or watering setup before choosing.

Does CLASSIC Small replace dog walks?

No. It provides a nearby potty spot when quick access matters. Walks can remain part of your dog’s exercise, enrichment, fresh air, and time with you.
