New Puppy

[zoe225]

Go to the nursery and get 4 flats of St. Augustine Grass. Put them on your balcony and keep them watered well. Instant grass patch for peeing.

BTW - No puppy is house trained at 8 weeks, especially a pug puppy! They have little to no control over their bladder at that age.

I never thought of that either... Might be something to look into!! Do you think the pee would make it really stinky and gross after a while??

i would think the pee would kill the grass...

No. Not if you keep it well watered. St Augustine is really urine tough.

St. Augustine is particularly urine hardy. Any grass will do, but you will replace the flats more often on other types. My son had a pug/corgi mix and they lived in an apartment and that is what they did for her and it worked great. They installed a sliding glass door doggy door on the slider going out to the balcony. Those install without hurting the door or frame, so worked well for the rental. They lived there a year and a half and never had to replace any of the flats.
