This is a specially formulated, hydroponically grown grass that is designed to work perfectly as an indoor dog potty, or outside on your balcony as a fresh potty patch. This dog grass weighs slightly more than one half as much as standard sod for easy lifting and is "soil-less" which means it contains virtually none of the dirt you find in sod sold in home improvement stores. This is suitable for dogs under 18 pounds. This product is also wonderful for cats, rabbits, turtles, hedgehogs etc...
