Lawn care 101

Are you ready to make lawn care part of your personality?

Here’s a few tips to get you started:

  • Place in a sunny spot (but not scorching). A little light keeps it lush.
  • Lightly water every few days. Think spa mist, not swimming pool.
  • Solids go in the bin. For liquids, rinse with a splash of water.
  • Every now and then, lift the tray and give it a bit of air. If it’s looking a bit tired, pop it outside for some fresh air and light recovery time
  • Got a whiff you don’t love? A quick rinse with water and a splash of pet-safe vinegar underneath can help neutralise any smells. Just don’t spray the lawn itself!

Training time

Let’s make training a walk in the park:

  • Start early and often, take them to their patch often but especially after eating, drinking, sleeping, or playing
  • Consistency is key, they’re still learning. Stay positive, even if they miss the mark occasionally
  • Watch for signals, sniffing, circling, whining? Time to head to the grass
  • We all love a treat. Praise and treat them right after they go

Older dogs?

Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?!

  • Introduce it like a new bathroom, not a toy
  • Encourage them to mark it, a used pee pad, paper towel with their scent, or even a little soil from their usual spot can help.
  • Stick to a schedule, bring them to the lawn during their normal bathroom times to help them make the connection.
  • Limit other options, if you can. If indoors, block off access to other usual potty spots to reinforce the Little Lawn as the place to go.
  • Praise still works! Yes, even older dogs love a little “good dog!” and a treat. Reinforce every successful visit.

Consistency is key for both puppies and adult dogs, and remember you're not just growing grass, you're growing great habits.

Little Lawn Tips for Cats

Fresh, fun, and feline-approved.

  • A natural hangout. Place your Little Lawn somewhere your cat already loves to lounge  windowsills, balconies, or near their favorite napping spot.
  • Scratch, don’t stress. Cats may paw or roll on the grass before they lounge or nibble that’s normal! It’s enrichment, not mischief.
  • Safe snacking. Some cats enjoy chewing on fresh grass. It’s safe and can even help with digestion (and those pesky hairballs
  • Keep it fresh. Spritz lightly with water to keep the lawn lush. Cats are picky — they won’t touch wilted grass.
  • Mix & match. If you’re using it as a litter box alternative, introduce it slowly by placing the Little Lawn next to their current litter area. Sprinkle a small amount of used litter on top to transfer the scent.
  • Rotate for fun. Swap lawns regularly, fresh grass keeps curious cats coming back for more.
