Kushi's new litter box

Up till now, Kushi has been using a 3 x 3 foot square of grass sod, which has worked well. The only problem is that if Kushi's poop is soft, then it will smear into the grass, making it difficult to wipe clean. Although we replace the sod every week, I'm still afraid that Kushi will track in invisible traces of poop.

So we finally got a litter box from PETaPOTTY:

Tigger and Kushi exploring the new box

It's about 34" x 34" and made of polyvinyl. Some absorbant medium such as grass sod, wood mulch, gravel, etc sits on top and there are slits in the box which allow draining into a collection tray hidden underneath. We chose to put wood chip mulch in the box and lined the bottom collection tray with puppy pads to absorb the urine that drains through the chips:

By using wood chips, I can pick up the poop and any surrounding dirty wood chips so I don't have to worry about any leftover poop residue. We also don't bother to change to wood chips as frequently as the grass sod. We just top off the wood chips and change out the puppy pads when they get too dirty. The only drawback is if your dog likes to dig, the wood chips will fly out and make a mess. You could always use grass sod or gravel as an alternative. Kushi was already used to going on wood chips, so she quickly adapted to using the box.
