People With Dogs & No Grass in Back Yard

We decided to buy a house with no grass in the backyard.  Completely forgot about where our fur baby would do her business. Anyway we have been looking at different options from a pet mat, to  a patch of artificial grass or taking out some pavers and putting real grass down.

 

Anyone else experienced this problem and what did you do?

 

Ta in advance. (Borrowing hubby's laptop ATM so please be patient if I don't come back right away)

Icy ! Smiley Surprised  Naughty corner for you! Smiley LOL

 

 

 

 

 

Is it all paved, no dirt at all?

 

Actually Icys idea is good, but take a pooper scooper.

 

Um, all I can suggest, if you can afford it, is to buy expensive dog food, like Science Diet or Advance. Most of the food is utilised so not much comes out the other end, and what does come out doesn't smell poopy

I had that problem with all pavers. Before we brought our puppy home we dug up some pavers, bought some turf from Bunnings and put it down. 3 years later I must admit that she mostly goes on the remaining pavers, occasionally on the grass. We also made our own fencing.

 Why do they need grass?  I've had 3 labradors (one at a time) and every one

of them dropped it on concrete.

 

You've got to clean it up anyway.  Concrete makes it easier.

And the dog gets a manicure on those claws when scratching to

'cover it up'
