Due to supply chain constraints, our total orders are not big enough at the moment to be able to indent in grass. So we're only able to tag onto other people's bigger orders as and when they come.

Effective 1/8/2024 ALL orders will be considered Pre-orders and will only be shipped out the following week. This way we can ensure everyone gets their orders as promised!

Differences Between Carpet Grass and Cow Grass for Poopee's Eco-Turf

Carpet Grass

• Aesthetic Appeal: Carpet grass has a lush, dense appearance, making it more visually appealing.
• Base Material: Soil-based, providing a natural and robust foundation.
• Weight: Heavier, which helps keep the boxes from shifting around, especially if your dog walks or runs over it.
• Durability: Dries up looking the same, maintaining its aesthetic over time.
• Maintenance: Easier to clean and maintain due to its dense structure.
• Comfort: Provides a soft and comfortable surface for dogs.
• Suitability: Ideal for indoor use where aesthetic and stability are priorities.
• Environment: Mimics a natural lawn environment closely, which can be more appealing for some dogs.
  
  Cow Grass
• Appearance: Slightly more sparse compared to carpet grass.
• Base Material: Uses a coconut husk base, making it lighter and easier to handle.
• Weight: Lighter, so the boxes might shift if a dog walks too fast on it.
• Familiarity: Most common type of grass found in public spaces in Singapore, making it familiar for local dogs.
• Flexibility: Easier to move and replace due to its lighter weight.
  - Adaptability: Can adapt to different environments but might require more frequent adjustments.
• Maintenance: Requires more water and sun to keep alive.
  
  General Points
• Dog's Preference: Ultimately, the choice between carpet grass and cow grass depends on your dog's preference. Some dogs have a strong preference for one type over the other.
• Trial and Error: Finding the right grass type for your dog might require some trial and error, similar to how some people can't use public restrooms comfortably.
• Usability: Both types provide a natural feel, but it's essential to observe your dog's behavior and comfort with each type.
• Training: Introducing either type might require some initial training to ensure your dog uses it effectively.

By considering these differences and your dog's unique preferences, you can select the best Eco-turf option to ensure comfort and convenience for both you and your pet.

If your dog is already indoor potty trained

• Cut up a piece of the pee pad that already has your dog’s / any dog's pee and put it under the grass in the Eco-turf box
• Use a pee inducer spray
• Remove any other options for peeing around the house (e.g. Pee pads, Carpets, Newspapers etc.)

If your dog is outdoor trained

• “Walk” your dog in the house to the Eco-turf
• Put the Eco-turf outside your main door and walk your dog to it with the leash attached, slowly bring it into the house over a few days to weeks
• Use any of the tips in the indoor potty trained list above
  

If that still doesn’t work. Reach out and we’ll try to diagnose the issue. 

Cardboard Limitations:

• Larger boxes require thicker cardboard.
• Our current cardboard is at its maximum thickness for foldability.
• Thicker cardboard can't be folded, making the boxes impractical to produce.

Weight Considerations:

• Larger boxes with grass would be too heavy.
• Excessive weight causes the box to cave in, leading to potential messes during delivery or after receipt.

Size and Convenience:

• Eco-Turf is designed for Singaporean apartments.
• Smaller boxes are easier to carry, especially in staircases and lifts.
• They are designed to be manageable for disposal in common rubbish bins.

Practical Solutions for Box Shifting:

• Use an anti-slip mat underneath the boxes.
• Press boxes against a wall or furniture to prevent movement.
• We are developing a clip to secure the boxes together, to be released soon.

Yes, Eco-turf is real grass and, like all living plants, it will eventually die, even with proper care. This is because there isn't enough soil in the Eco-turf and thus lacks enough nutrients to sustain the grass for a prolonged period.

Typically, the Eco-turf remains alive for 1-4 weeks. However, this can vary depending on factors such as the amount of sunlight, airflow, and humidity in your home. To keep your Eco-turf greener for longer, ensure it receives plenty of water, sunlight, and airflow—just like any other plant.

Even if your Eco-turf turns brown and appears dead, it's still functional. Dogs are colorblind and do not mind the color change; they will continue to use it as long as it serves their needs. However, if the scent becomes too overwhelming for your dog, they might avoid using it. When this happens, it's time to replace your Eco-turf.
