👇🏼 A Few Tricks To Extend Patch Life 👍
The media could not be loaded. ‼️UPDATED TIP FOR STUBBORN DOGS‼️ 👇🏼BELOW REVIEW👇🏼 I have a stubborn 7-year-old chihuahua who goes potty outside most of the year, but every winter she refuses to go out in the rain and sneaks off to find hidden corners of my carpet instead. I tried everything to save my floors like crates, potty pads, even fake turf and nothing worked as well as Fresh Patch. Some people may feel the cost is a bit steep, but I have a few tips that more than double the typical lifespan of each patch 👇 I order the Standard size (24x16”), and with my 8 lb chihuahua I can stretch one box to almost an entire month by running a small, inexpensive grow light over it for a few hours a day. It keeps the grass dry without killing it and helps control odor for weeks, far longer than the expected lifespan. The size is perfect for my little dog, and it even worked for my 60 lb German Shepherd when we were snowed in. It definitely wore out faster (totally expected for a big dog), but in a pinch it still worked. If you have multiple dogs, I recommend tucking something absorbent underneath the grass inside the box. It prevents the patch from sitting in pooled urine and noticeably extends the life. The box itself is extremely sturdy. I’ve never had issues with leaking or mess. Even when it starts to look worn, the liner stays sealed and durable. The only time I ever had a problem was due to a mishap I witnessed upon its arrival, causing slight damage in the box (seen in images) but it was absolutely no fault of the seller or product itself and they immediately sent a replacement. By the way, their customer service is AMAZING and they were very quick to respond. Overall, this has been the most reliable solution I’ve found for picky, stubborn, or hard-to-train dogs. It’s absolutely worth the price and if you can extend the lifespan, EVEN BETTER. Most dogs naturally prefer real grass, so mine needed zero training. They sniffed it and went right away. Honestly, it couldn’t be easier. 100% recommend this for anyone whether they are potty training a young pup, or trying to find a solution for a sneaky, stubborn adult dog. 👇 Tips to Make It Last Longer 👇 1️⃣ Run a cheap grow light over the patch for a few hours a day 2️⃣ Add something absorbent underneath the grass to prevent pooling 3️⃣ Rotate the patch slightly every few days for more even use (optional) 4️⃣ Keep it in a well-ventilated area if possible ‼️ UPDATED TIP FOR STUBBORN DOGS ‼️ After having a 100% success rate with my own dogs, I ordered another patch for my mother’s dogs. They wouldn’t use it at all, not even sniff it! 👇🏼 So I tried something new:👇🏼 I brought the patch to my house and let my dogs use it once or twice. When I brought it back to my mom’s house, BOOM!!! Her dogs’ “territory marking instincts” kicked in the moment they smelled another dog’s scent, and now they use it perfectly every time. I know not everyone has someone who can “pre-mark” the patch for them, but you can still try something similar. If you have a friend or family member, anyone who has a dog that doesn’t live with you and your dog: You can use a paper towel to dab spots where their dog normally goes potty, then gently wipe that scent onto the grass. It’s a simple trick. Then REWARD your dog so they know they are the GOODEST puppy dog EVER!! Read more
