Back Yard in a Box

When I first came across "The Pet Loo" - I thought, what in the world is this? But the more I familiarized myself with the product, the more I liked it.

For those of you not familiar with toilet parlance, a "loo" is a toilet in Australian-speak. The Pet Loo is a hygienic, portable toilet for dogs and cats. It consists of a lightweight box that fits on a balcony or anywhere inside an apartment, so that the animal can relieve itself when its owner can’t be there or if for some reason the animal can't access the outdoors. On the box is high-quality synthetic grass that attracts the pet and encourages it to pee/poop. There is a draining board under the grass so that urine flows away from the surface and down angled channels to the base of the box. The box is made of material that is resistant to the acidity of urine and the stench. The box comes apart easily for cleaning, and no assembly is required.

The Pet Loo comes in two sizes to suit your cat and dog. It is priced between $159 and $239. The company also offers cleaning solutions and replacable synthetic grass.
