Isn't this just a £3 piece of turf? Not soil free as advertised.

This is advertised as being "soil Free" I received mine a couple of days ago and was amazed to find it looking remarkably like a £3 piece of turf in regular soil, I've messaged Piddle Patch and left numerous messages on their social media channels but yet to receive response.
Surely they cannot be selling a £3 piece of soil for £33 ? Also was it supposed to contain weeds? it's not only a £33 piece of turf, it's a poor quality £33 piece of turn that contains weeds !!

Hi Darren,

We have taken a look at our system but we have not received any emails from you regarding this matter. Our email address is info@piddlepatch.com if you ever need to email us about any issues with our product or services.

Piddle Patch grass is a natural plant product grown in a liquid retentive mat, which is brown in colour. The liquid retentive mat helps to absorb urine and it also extends the lifespan of the grass by providing a medium from which it can grow, however, it is not soil.

If you would like to discuss this matter any further then please do contact us using the above email address with some pictures of your Piddle Patch so we can investigate this further.

Kind regards,
Sarah

Puppy training

I loved the piddle patch experience and have recommended to other dog owners. I used it to help potty train my puppy, it looks nicer and is cleaner than using puppy toilet training pads.

Extremely disappointed

Extremely disappointed. The price is really overinflated for what you get and the customer service is very defensive. I had quite a long email exchange and with every reply I got the standard answer that the product is designed and grown with health of the puppy in mind.

Honestly why is it so much when it’s just grass seed grown under uv lights. It would be cheaper and a lot less hassle if you got turf from the local garden centre and put it in a litter tray.

I might have been impressed if it wasn’t for the nastiness that came across from customer service. I won’t be buying again.

As I said for the price it’s not worth the hassle. And as for the threats of review…oh look I did leave a review. Have you removed my details from your database as requested in my formal email request under UK law you are obligated to remove them.

Hi,

We are sorry that we were not able to cancel and refund your order as requested. As mentioned to you via email, unfortunately, once an order is shipped and is with the courier there is no way for us to recall it.

We were disappointed to then receive threats of reviews when we were not able to refund your order despite explaining to you that we have order cut-offs (this information is available on our website) and that your order had already shipped.

When contacted after the order cut-offs have passed we always try to accommodate any requests to cancel/move shipping, but when your order has already been shipped, there is no way for us to cancel your order.

Each Piddle Patch takes a considerable amount of time and cost for our small business to produce and ship. Unfortunately, because of this we are unable to refund Piddle Patches that have been harvested and delivered to customers, as our fresh grass products are perishable and cannot be resold. We did offer you to return the tray for a refund, an offer which you did not respond to.

Each Piddle Patch is grown over a period of 14 months and is grown as an environmentally, low maintenance solution.

A Piddle Patch real grass potty pad offers a number of benefits over the grass you’ll find at your local garden centre.

Grass grown in soil, as you’ll find at the garden centre, has a short lifespan when it’s not planted into the ground and will begin to wilt and die within about 48 hours. By growing our grass in a liquid retentive mat, Piddle Patch grass has a medium from which it can continue to grow strong and healthy. It’s a living product!

The lack of dirt in our grass also means that you don’t need to worry about soil and mud making a mess in your home.

You can find more information about the benefits of Piddle Patch on our website.

We hope that you are able to find a toilet solution that works for you.

Wishing you all the best for the future.

Kind regards,

Sarah

The Piddle Patch helped speed up our puppy’s house training as he definitely preferred using grass to the puppy training pads :) This is a must-have if you live in a flat or don’t have fast access to a garden! The company are fantastic to deal with. Highly recommended.

Next day delivery and excellent for puppy toilet training

Next day delivery. Grass looks very fresh. Using for bringing new puppy home on car journey and for toilet training so I have a shorter trip to grass area. Putting in front garden where there is no grass. Fits in my boot for the puppy collection. Saves hunting for a safe toilet area at stops.

We have found PiddlePatch to be very useful, when we first got our puppy in January, particularly as we live in an apartment, so getting him outside in time was difficult. It also gave us the peace of mind that he was safe and at no risk of picking up any illnesses from the street outside while he waited for all his vaccinations.
He is now 17 weeks old and is getting a lot better at going to the toilet outside hence we reduced the subscription from weekly to fortnightly. It was very easy to amend our subscription as per our changing requirements. All in all, a great product, which made our introduction to puppy parenthood that little bit easier!

Piddle patch grub & worm infestation

Ordered every month for 6 months and my puppy loved and it made toilet training easier.
However the last order arrived full of grass grub infestation, the patch was soaking wet and I have to throw the whole thing in the garbage bin.
The customer service was very poor and they refused to acknowledge the issue (despite picture shared) and they refused to send another one, saying that it was not “harmful to me or my pet”. I’m giving only one star because of the poor customer service and poor quality control.

Hi Regina,

As per the policy on our website, we ask that you retain your Piddle Patch so that we can arrange a return if necessary. This helps us to thoroughly investigate your complaint, in the absence of the product and/or the requested photos it is difficult for us to do so.

Unfortunately, as you were unable to provide us with the photos required or return the Piddle Patch we were not able to issue a refund as requested. We did offer you 20% off your next Piddle Patch as a gesture of goodwill, and this offer still stands if you would ever like to order again.

Wishing you all the best for the future.

Kind regards,
Sarah

Piddle Patch has been brilliant for our puppy

Piddle Patch has been absolutely brilliant for toilet training our puppy. We only have decking outside our back door…but by using the piddle patch it meant puppy was able to walk straight outside to a patch of grass when he needed to go (and we didn’t need to carry him up and down lots of steps). He got it straight away and it was very easy to encourage him to go on the grass patch rather than on the decking. For our puppy, we needed a replacement roughly every 10-14 days for the first few weeks till he started going for walks/ being able to use rest of garden.

The piddle patch team were so helpful and responsive and 100% delivered on schedule. They were flexible to change delivery frequency when needed too.

Tip if you’re using piddle patch outside during winter- we created a rain cover for it using a couple of big plant trays so it didn’t get too soggy and lasted longer. And definitely also get the absorbent pellets to use in the base.

The best thing we did for our puppy

The piddle patch is everything we could have wanted/needed for our pup living in a city apartment. We couldn’t have been without it in the early stages.

Thanks to the piddle patch our pup was potty trained within 24 hours of bringing him home at 8 weeks. Along with the fact he wasn't aloud outside for 2 weeks meant he knew what he was looking for when he was eventually was aloud out into the real world.

I couldn’t recommend it more to anyone who has a pup / small dog, living in a flat or minimal outside space. The no muddy paws are also a win!

The service is great, it’s soo easy to manage your subscription (for when your away or on holiday) and the grass always arrives in great condition.

Thank you for making our puppy experience so much easier!

Amazing, life saver for me post operation!

This product is and has been an absolute game changer for me. Started using piddle patch for my puppy before he could go outside before being fully vaccinated. He took to it straight away and abandoned his puppy pads. Took very little training - it was as if he knew what to do straight away. Recently I have had an operation meaning I cannot walk and I’m housebound (I live in a flat). My puppy is now 6 months old and Piddle Patch has meant we have had zero accidents in the house at all, he can take himself on his grass as and when he needs as he’s fully trained to use the Piddle Patch now. I have limited mobility for now and when he’s not on his walks with his dog walker, Piddle Patch has made my life so much easier and stress free. As my puppy is using the grass very often, the Piddle Patch is lasting me around 2 weeks. After this point is becomes very smelly and unpleasant. We can push to 3 weeks but sometimes an occasional puppy pad needs to be used until my next subscription delivery arrives.
