Using the Spotty Indoor Dog Potty is easy. First, place the potty in a suitable indoor area for your dog. Insert the scented grass inlay and snap in the channel grid to hold the potty pads. Let your dog get familiar with the new potty area. When your dog uses the potty, the system will quickly absorb the waste and control the odor. After a week, or when the pads are soiled, replace them with the extra - thick puppy pads that come with the set. Use the heavy - duty cleansing wipes to clean the potty system regularly. Remember, this potty is designed for dogs up to 46 lbs, so make sure it's appropriate for your pet's size. Keep it in a dry and clean place to maintain its effectiveness.
