Rabbit Grass - Waste of money

Website and delivery were both fine but the item itself was very lacklustre and not remotely worth the cost. We bought the "Grass for Rabbits" item and at nearly £40 for a small cut of lawn, it's very expensive.

Unfortunately the rabbits were not interested in it at all and it died very quickly, even with following the care instructions. It was a complete waste of money.

The dog ones may be useful if you have no garden or outside space to give them somewhere to pee, but for rabbits to eat, it's rubbish.

Absolutely disgusted with this

Edit: nobody said the pup has "misfired" except you. I categorically told you that has not happened and you offered me the option to return the wooden tray to prove it, but have yet to provide an address or postage label. Why would you allow me to return them renege on that if you know the box is not at fault? You've also not addressed the fact that, that one patch had far less soil in it, which attributed to the problem too.
You are literally pulling excuses from your backside and offering things to me, including a "substantial discount" if we continued to use your product.

AMEX have agreed with us that your product was not fit for purpose and have since reversed the entire transaction as you would not. Please explain to me how this would be possible if your product was adequate, why you would offer a discount on future purchases and also why you offered then retracted the option to return the wooden tray to you if what you say is correct?

I also strongly refute your claims of attempted blackmail, I have simply told you the truth and my intention as your product is just not good enough and people should be aware of. At no point did I ask you for hundreds of pounds and at this point I will now be contacting the police as your claims are nothing short of malicious and slanderous.

Original review:

Absolutely disgusted with this, furious frankly as it's ruined the floors of my rented property.

We paid for a puppy starter kit, which I believe came with 6 weeks worth of boxes, one per week. I also paid something like £65 for a "premium" wooden box to put the patches in, make them more presentable in the flat etc and add an additional layer incase of any leakage, we thought this would fully cover us and we was being over cautious based on their website.

The dog is a bulldog, under 6.5kg, just turned 3 months old on her 4th patch. She's now vaccinated so going downstairs for short walks 3 times a day and out for regular toilet breaks, the oui oui patch is mainly for use in-between scheduled toilet breaks and during the evening, as I still need to get up with her ever 3 hours or so.

Today, I noticed the patch, that we have had for 5 days exactly, stinks... And I do mean absolutely bloody stinks. You walk into the flat and it's all we can smell. So, I decided it's only a couple of days, we can use the traditional pee pads till the next one arrives, no big deal, right?...

No.

I lifted the woodbox off the floor with the patch in it and it turns out the cardboard box and the wooden box haven't kept the dogs pee in, hence the smell. It's seeped out of the box, into the hardwood floor, staining and destroying rented property which we are going to have to replace, it looks disgusting, it smells disgusting. Avoid using the product and the company. Stick to pee pads and just keep throwing away as this tech clearly needs some major work and consideration still before it can be considered viable. I am absolutely furious with the product and company right now.

EDIT: Amex have not deducted anything from our account. We offered for you to post back the wooden tray for a refund (as we would do for any client) and you never responded to this offer.

Hi Scott,

Laura brought your 15 emails to my attention; I reviewed them along with the photos you provided and responded to each one.

As we discussed at length, and in great detail, over email your wooden tray did not leak. The situation you describe is a result of your pup 'misfiring', with the liquid missing the patch, hitting the edge of the wooden tray, and thus dripping down the side and underneath the tray. The photos you provided clearly demonstrated this.

It is for this exact reason that we state on our website not to use these wooden trays on wooden floors. A recommendation you chose to ignore.

If there had been a fault with the water-resistant treatment of the wooden tray, this would have shown up with your first patch on the 25th May.

I imagine the urine pooling underneath the tray because of this would have contributed to the smell you described.

You have been verbally abusive to me and Laura via email, tried to blackmail us with a negative social media campaign if we didn’t send you hundreds of pounds, tried to contact me on LinkedIn and threatened to turn up at our offices. As two ladies working alone, we found this all very threatening and upsetting.

We can see from your Trustpilot history we are not the first company you have unjustly attacked and threatened.

Best Wishes,
Laurencia

Perfect product

Perfect product. We had tried fake grass in the past for our balcony which ended up smelling terrible. This was so easy, our dog Pip loved it, and no smells! Would highly recommend to anyone without easy access to a backyard.

My three indoor cats love their patches! We live in an apartment, so it’s great to be able to bring fresh/real grass indoors for them to play on. Great customer service as well. I’d recommend to any indoor cat owners! 5 stars from me! :-)

The biggest regret to waste £37 which went to rubbish bin next day.
Box arrived completely damaged from all corners, to unable use it as tray, when I took grass out of it, it has been broken, not saying it should be delivered flat as a pizza, good advertisement, but only in words.
And it’s not refundable, regardless pictures have been provided.
People don’t waste your money

Hi Nataliya,
From the images you sent us there was nothing wrong with you delivery. The triangle holes in the lid that you referred to are cut on purpose to provide oxygen to the grass in transit, as we explained to you via email.
I can see you have made similar comments to a number of other companies on Trustpilot, asking for your money back but still having used their products including eHarmony, Dante Labs etc. As a small company, this is not something we can do.
We hope your pets enjoy their Patch and wish you all the best.

Tried, Tested, LOVED on all levels

Worf has been using these patches since he was 9 weeks old. With training he was toilet trained within 5-6 days, it was also a perfect transition for him doing his toilets outside as he was already familiar with the smells/textures of the patch. Worf is now 16 months old and does his bigger toilets on his walks but he likes the luxury of having his patches for his wee’s on the balcony and we don’t have to keep going downstairs - yay. The quality of the patches are always excellent, we’ve had no issues with deliveries and where we have had any queries the customer service team have been fantastic at getting back to us. I can’t recommend this product and this brand enough.

Cant imagine how to live without Oui Oui Patch

Cannot imagine how to live without Oui Oui Patches. Our nasty but criminally beautiful Frenchie needs to go to the toilet quite often, more frequent than twice a day. So the Oui Oui Patch is a great compromise in our human with doggo relationship!

All thanks to City Doggo!!

Best purchase for my two cats

Best purchase for my two cats, my cats are toilet trained so they just use the grass for hanging out and snacking on some fibrous grass. Have had it over a week and its amazing. Growing tall grass and smells like spring.

Have ordered another one and thinking about a monthly subscription as its cheaper to do so. The team at City doggo are friendly and knowledgeable, im happy I googled outdoor stuff for inside cats lol hahahahhah. Can't wait to buy more, I wish there was a way to customise patch size ad I wish to have it longer than wide but again ecstatic on the purchase and reviewing my other patch on February with the wooden crate box.

I urge anyone with animals inside to purchase and see for yourself the happiness you bring to your animals.

My cats sleep and play on this oui oui patch and now using it as a landing spot for my cats as I just built a 2 metre cat tree from my old pull bars.

Thank you City doggo for an amazing product and can't wait to get another with the wooden box.

Started to smell…….quickly

Placed this is the corner of large room. The two Chihuahuas used it no problem but by day three it started to smell. Day four and you could smell it when you walked in the room.
Decided to cancel the subscription (which you can only do by email) only to be told you can only cancel after two deliveries. So, the next delivery, that I have to pay for, will go straight in the bin. To hold somebody to two deliveries (after they paid £96) is just terrible.
My chihuahuas are tiny. I dread to think what the smell would be like with a larger dog.

Hi Julie,

I've reached out to you directly via email a few weeks ago but haven't heard a response.

I was glad to read that your two Chihuahuas took to Oui Oui Patch so quickly. However, it does, of course, worry me that it started to smell so quickly. I have to Dachshunds myself and an indoor Patch (similar to yourself) and haven't experienced this until 7+ days (which is why we always recommend our weekly subscription for indoor patches). I am very sorry you've experienced this. Can I ask if your Patch was placed close to a heater? This can have negative impacts on the root structures absorption and overall lifespan of the Patches.

As for cancelling the subscription, you can cancel on the website yourself by creating an account and logging into your account or via email.

As you mentioned in your review, our policy does not allow us to cancel subscriptions before 2 orders have been made. This is why you were able to purchase our Patch for 26.75GBP (using the MYFIRSTPATCH discount that only applies to subscriptions) instead of the one off rate of 37.50GBP.

This cancellation policy is outlined on the page where you purchased, on emails confirming your order, in our FAQs as well as
on the checkout page where you ticked you agreed to this policy. I've provided images demonstrating this to you via email.

I do apologize if this wasn't clear to you. Do you have any recommendation on how I could make this better/clearer to customers?

The other money you spent was on a different product - the Wooden Tray - that you didn't want to return.

Best regards,
Laurencia

Grass patch

The grass from the patch went everywhere!! And after a few days it became damp underneath. Dog wasn't interested in using it to toilet although that's probably not the product's fault.

Hi Lucinda,

I've reached out directly via email a few weeks ago but haven't heard a response.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review of City Doggo on our Trustpilot page. We welcome and take all feedback seriously in order to improve our service to customers.

Grass from the patch going everywhere is something our packaging is designed to avoid so this is quite worrying. Could you kindly expand on that so that we can understand how the grass got displaced?

You mentioned that the patch became damp after a few days. Please may I check whether you placed the Oui Oui Patch Lid underneath the base before use? The lid is treated with multiple layers of a water-resistant, eco-friendly, and dog safe coating to is designed to withstand use by dogs.

Any further information you can provide will allow us to address your issue and improve our product.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards,
Michael

Oui Oui Patch - Amazing product

I contacted City Doggo with questions since I was interested in their products. They were very responsive and swiftly provided helpful information. I purchased the Oui Oui Patch on the back of this conversation as I live in a building without a lift meaning that it sometimes can be stressful to take my puppy out for a pee when I’m particularly short on time. I’m very pleased with my purchase. My puppy goes to the Oui Oui Patch whenever she needs and it looks great. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Order issue, overcharged and poor customer service

My main issue has been with the website and then customer service. Somehow my single subscription ended up as three patches delivered at once and a charge of £75. I contacted them immediately after the delivery error, and After many emails back and forth (lacking some professionalism in customer service in my opinion - perhaps they will also write comments below this review as they have done to many other comments here dismissing the claims of their customers) they still insisted I was in error and could not possibly entertain how they or their systems could at all be at fault, also stating their ‘live product’ could not possibly come with any sort of return or refund.

The product itself did not work at all for my puppy. He just frantically attacked, dug and ate the grass which made him quite ill. I tried hard all the tips provided by City Doggo to prevent this but no joy. The grass itself was green, moist and good quality and was delivered reasonably well.

Hi Chris,

We explained in great detail and provided multiple forms of evidence that you ordered two weekly subscriptions that were confirmed to you via email. You then went into your account and moved your next charge date forward to the 18th December, creating another charge which was again confirmed to you via email. Every charge taken was (a) initiated by yourself and (b) confirmed to you via email. You were charged for 3 products you asked the website for and you received 3 products.

If you had read your order confirmation emails and asked us to change them - we would have done this gladly. Instead, you waited until you had 3 living products on your doorstep, making it impossible for us to reimburse you.

This is similar to asking Deliveroo to reimburse you once they have already delivered what you ordered. Instead of admitting your mistake, you chose to bully and threated us with bad reviews.

You've said our website is confusing. Our subscription page does state "Adding 2 subscriptions to your cart will result in 2 Patches per delivery" which I believe addresses the route of your initial confusion. However, we are always trying to improve it so if you have suggestions, we would be glad to implement them.

As for the product not working for you, this is the first we are hearing of it. Dogs do eat grass to make themselves throw up when they have a funny tummy. We are very happy to discuss further and provide personalize training tips and will reach out to you via email to do so.

Best regards,
Laurencia from City Doggo

Love it!

I purchased the Oui Oui Patch as I live on the fourth floor in a building without a lift.
Mornings can be quite hectic and stressful trying to get the dog out for a pee before work and I know that he's been holding it in like a good boy which makes me feel awful!
With a Oui Oui Patch in the flat, we aren't rushing up and down stairs anymore and when we go for our walk it's in pursuit of fun and play and thankfully its not all about the toilet anymore, which wasn't leaving either dog or human feeling particularly comfortable!
Thank you, City Doggo, and keep up the great work!

Don’t bother

I ordered the city doggo on subscription including paying extra for the wooden tray.

My first grass patch was delivered by the courier, left on its side (when though the packaging clearly states to lay flat like a pizza) so it was was squashed to the bottom of the box. The grass itself was quite dry and looked half dead.

The second subscription, again was left on its side by courier and again was all down the bottom of the box. But the grass was much better condition, Looked more lush and alive.

The third subscription arrived, again was on its side and again all smoshed down the bottom of the box but this more was like the first one, again dry and looking very sorry for itself.

I decided to cancel the subscription finally after realising that the cardboard box lining (2 layers) and wooden tray isn’t enough to stop the wee leaking through onto the floor. Considering in only have a tiny Brussels Griffon puppy, the patch changed weekly and only spritzed with water sparingly, I now have a lovely black patch on my wooden flooring.
THANKS 👍

Dear Tina,

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We welcome all feedback and take reviews seriously.

We’re sorry to hear that your Oui Oui Patch was delivered on its side. We have raised this issue with DPD to prevent similar instances from happening in future in your area.

To help avoid a vertical delivery, we remind customers to add Delivery Instructions to the DPD delivery app to “Hold & Deliver Flat Like A Pizza”, which helps instruct the driver on how to deliver Oui Oui Patch correctly.

However, a vertical delivery is purely aesthetic. After extensive testing we have found it does not impact how long the patch survives or the usefulness of the product for pets. We have videos on our website (in the FAQs) and social media explaining how to deal with a vertical delivery. Whilst the box is still closed with the sleeve on, hold the box horizontally and shake the box from side to side. This restores the grass to flat and makes it ready to use (as well as avoiding any mess!).

If a Patch arrives in poor condition, we always offer a replacement to customers when we are contacted about the issue and given an image. It’s unfortunate that you never contacted us before this review as we would have done everything in our power to help.

The wooden tray and the Oui Oui Patch together do provide sufficient protection for floors. In fact, I use them on my light, wooden floors personally (as you will see on our social media). The only problem arises when a puppy isn't fully on the patch when they do their business. This means urine leaks down the wooden tray and seeps underneath. This can be easily cleaned up if caught and it is part of the training process to help improve your dog's aim. It's for this reason we sell Leg Lifters - to help a puppy stand fully on the patch before "going". In our FAQs we specifically address this issue: 

"Can I Keep Oui Oui Patches On My Wooden Floor?

We would not recommend placing Oui Oui Patches on indoor wooden floors, as the boxes are not waterproof and may cause damage if the patch becomes too saturated.

Our wooden trays in combination with the Oui Oui Patch boxes are sufficient to protect your indoor floors. However, whilst a dog is new to the patch we still recommend keeping the patch on a balcony or a tiled floor. This is because dogs new to the patch, and in particular puppies, can sometimes "go" on the edge of the tray - meaning urine can spill down the side of the tray and seep underneath. Our Leg Lifters are designed to help with this issue of aim, in conjunction with encouragement from pet owners. In the beginning stages a balcony or tiled floor allows for easy clean up in the event of this kind of spillage. However, once your pup is well trained, our wooden tray + Oui Oui Patch combo will protect your wooden floors from leakage. "

We are sorry to see you go and wish you and your pet all the very best for the future.

Best wishes,
City Doggo.
