Types of home toilets for dogs
Pet shops are ready to offer owners of dogs a huge assortment of toilets for the apartment. They can have a variety of shapes, designs, sizes, and are in one or another price segment. So, what they are - toilets for dogs :
- Toilet is a column . Specifically designed for males, or more precisely - for quenching their instincts. Even if the dog does not have the opportunity to go outside, she can always go to the toilet at home. This structure consists of several parts. The main ones are the grate and the pallet underneath. Thanks to the grid, the dog does not wet its paws while standing in the tray. In addition, there is a column on which the dog can lift its paw, following its instinct.
- Toilet with a collector . It is equipped with a container and a reliable mesh. In addition, it can be topped with a diaper or an absorbent filler under the mesh. This will help to remove the unpleasant odor. Such toilets are easy to use and wash.
- Toilet-tray with a filling for dogs . This toilet differs from the previous one in that it does not have a top grid. There are a lot of fillers for today. They all absorb moisture and smell. Some when wet get turned into a hard lump, which must be replaced with a fresh filler. In principle, this toilet is convenient, but it has a minus. And it consists that the dog can swallow a filler and poison. Avoid this will help the use of natural filler or a complete change of toilet.
- Toilet with a diaper . This is just the case when the filler did not fit the dog. It can always be replaced with a regular medical diaper. Pets quickly get used to such a toilet, and to remove it is extremely simple - you just need to replace the used diaper with a new one or wash it if it allows it (a reusable diaper).
- Toilet with lawn grass . It consists of several levels. The lower one is the container of urine, the middle one is needed to protect it from contact with the flooring, and the upper one is the litter with imitation of the lawn. Very comfortable toilet with odor locking system.
