Okay, so I was skeptical at first because some reviews said it looked cheap, but honestly? This fake grass rug is a LIFESAVER for my apartment-living golden retriever!

The 3x5ft size is HUGE compared to other brands - my big boy actually has room to circle before doing his business (you dog owners know what I mean). The grass blades are soft but dense enough that he doesn’t try to eat them (unlike that disastrous $20 one I tried last month).

PRO TIP: Like another reviewer mentioned, I bought two and rotate them. Hose one down, let it dry on my balcony (drainage holes WORK - no puddles!), while using the other. Game. Changer.

It’s not 100% identical to real grass (let’s be real), but the 1.2” height and green shade look surprisingly natural in photos. My Instagram stories of Max “gardening” have gotten so many ‘OMG is that REAL?!’ comments 😂

Major win: NO MORE disposable pee pads! The rubber backing contains accidents until cleanup, and it’s held up to daily hose-downs for 3 months now with zero fraying. Worth every penny for the convenience alone.
