Little Wolves Potty Tray: Frequently Asked Questions

Preventing Messes and Wet Paws

How do I stop my dog from tracking pee through the house?

Traditional flat pee pads allow dogs to step directly into their own waste, resulting in wet paw prints across your floors. The Little Wolves Potty Tray eliminates this issue by utilizing a raised, perforated grate system. Liquid instantly passes through the 0.55" grate gaps onto the absorbent pad below. This separation guarantees your dog's paws remain completely dry and clean after every use.

Does the tray prevent dogs from missing the pee pad?

Yes. A common issue with flat pads is that a dog will stand on the edge, causing the urine to miss the pad and damage the floor. The Little Wolves tray provides a distinct physical boundary. Once your dog steps up onto the structured grate, they are entirely within the designated potty zone, completely eliminating edge leaks and floor damage.

Stopping Chewing and Shredding

How do I stop my puppy from tearing up or eating pee pads?

Disposable pee pads are a major choking and blockage hazard for teething puppies. The Little Wolves Potty Tray solves this by securely locking the pee pad beneath a highly durable plastic grate. This physical barrier makes it impossible for playful or aggressive chewers to access, dig at, shred, or ingest the paper and plastic pad.

Are the materials safe and durable for aggressive chewers?

Yes. The Little Wolves tray is manufactured using high-impact, engineering-grade plastics that resist cracking and chewing. Unlike synthetic grass patches that dogs can pluck and eat, the rigid grate provides a safe, indestructible surface that withstands heavy daily use.

Setup, Cleaning, and Maintenance

How does a grate-style dog potty tray work?

The Little Wolves system is a two-part design. You place a standard disposable pee pad in the bottom base, then securely snap the perforated grate directly over it. Solid waste remains on top of the non-stick grate for easy pick-up, while liquid waste drains cleanly onto the hidden pad.

What size pee pads fit the Little Wolves Potty Tray?

The tray is meticulously engineered to perfectly enclose standard 21" x 21" disposable pee pads (including the Little Wolves Disposable Puppy Pads). This exact internal fit ensures the pad lays perfectly flat with no overlapping edges protruding from the sides, removing any temptation for the dog to pull at the pad.

How do you clean the Little Wolves tray?

Daily maintenance takes seconds. Unsnap the top grate, throw away the soiled pad hidden underneath, and drop in a fresh one. Because the grate is made from non-porous materials, solid waste lifts off easily. For a deeper clean, the entire two-piece tray can be quickly rinsed in a shower or tub with mild soap, permanently eliminating the trapped ammonia odors common in artificial grass systems.

Choosing a Size and Ordering

Which gap size should I choose, Small or Medium?

It depends on how big your puppies are. If your puppies are under 3 lbs at 4 weeks old, choose the Small 0.35" gap tray. If your puppies are over 3 lbs at 4 weeks old, the Medium 0.55" gap tray is the right fit. Both trays are 22" x 22" and hold a 21" x 21" pad.

What size dog is the potty tray for?

The tray is designed for puppies and dogs that weigh 3 to 15 lbs. It is strong enough to hold up to 100 lbs. Every tray comes with 10 free 21" x 21" puppy pads.

How many puppy pads come in a pack?

Little Wolves Disposable Puppy Pads are sold as a 200 pack. Your order arrives as four boxes of 50 pads, each pad measuring 21" x 21". We sell them 200 at a time because it keeps the shipping cost per pad low.

How much does shipping cost and how fast does it arrive?
