Types of Dog Litter Boxes

There are a number of companies that are marketing a dog litter box. Several of the litter boxes are larger versions of a cat litter box and they works the same way. It is a container that is filled with litter. You scoop out the litter regularly and replenish it. Purina just introduced its own dog litter box product, until now most commercial dog litter box products were being produced by small companies. So it is a strong statement that Purina has now jumped into the market with this product. Surely a testament to the growing need for products that support dogs and their owners lifestyles more comfortably.

Purina SecondNature Dog Litter Pan - you can by the system which includes the pan and secondnature dog litter. This is the newest product on the market today.





However there are also a few other litter box options that don't use litter. They use absorbing pads/paper or a grate. The grate method is the only one that does not require refills, it just gets rinsed off.

The most popular gate dog litter box is the Wizdog Indoor Dog Potty System. The nice thing about this product (aside from having excellent customer service) is that you don't have to buy a litter filler. And because it uses a grate method, dogs are able to keep their paws dry - which means no wet paws through the house.

And of course there are indoor litter boxes and outdoor litter boxes, and there are even portable ones. There is even a litter box with a fake grass cover that is great for a balcony and traveling. PupGear makes one called the Pup Head Portable - Travel Pet / Dog Potty. This litter box system uses a fake grass pad on top. It looks like a little section bit of the backyard was section off just for the dog to use. Like the Wizdog, it offers immediate drainage away from the dog.

I highly recommending visiting these sites directly and reading about the benefits of each one.

And of course there are litter box systems that you can make yourself. Next post I will explore some things to consider when selecting the right dog litter box for you and your pet.
