No Messy Clean-up
PostedJanuary 17, 2013

from Pittsburgh,PA
I never trained my 4 small dogs to use the litter.
I just placed it in their room & they started using it.
No more mopping or usig chemicals to disinfect the floor every time I come home from work.
Easy clean-up!!! Just use a scoop to remove soiled litter, or just dispose of everything in the tray & start fresh.

Love Purina secondnature Dog Litter
PostedOctober 1, 2012
ladywindward
from Stow, OH
I have used this litter to train two of my puppies. I put a newspaper the puppies had used on top of the litter. They immediately used the litter box. After a few times I removed the paper. With a minimum amount of cleaning out the used litter with a small scoop, you have a nice clean smelling box. This is the BEST litter. I have used other brands and I could smell the difference (not good). The litter frees you up from going outside in the bad weather and at night. Small dogs tend to need to go more often so this helps in that area as well. If you have a small dog, this is the way to go - it's EXCELLENT!

from Westminster, MD
We recently got an English Bulldog pup that was litter trained so I bought this product to use at home. Petco had the best price that I could find. It works great and there is no odor at all. It is a little difficult to scoop and sort through what is still good and what is used but that is minor. My only issue is the cost and this is a Purina issue not Petco. There are other similar products available elsewhere for a lot less cost. I would love to give more information on that but Petco doesn't allow it. Also, as far as the training guide...I didn't find it to be helpful at all. The tips from our breeder were much more helpful. All in all I love having a pup that is litter trained. We still have a few "accidents" from time to time but overall the litter box is a great thing for potty training especially if the pups start using it when they are very young.

Kills odors, NEVER smelled anything when my baby uses his litter inside the home. I have a Pomeranian Baby Boy who uses the toilet every 2 to 3 hours. I approve and recommend this product. I have been using this product for 1 year and since my baby was 3 months of age, I think this is also a good training aid. **NOTE: KEEP A CLOSE WATCH TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION.

My husband and I have a small breed (Yorkie-Poo). Even once he's full grown he'll only be able to hold it for 5-6 hours; we're gone 10 hours out of the day at times. We brought the litter pan home and waited until it seemed like our puppy had to use the bathroom (he walks in circles and snifs). We put him in the pan and he went! The 2nd time he had to go he went on his own!!! We praised him like crazy of course and now he uses it all the time. The pellets do a pretty good job of masking the odor too, I was suprised. I would recommend this for anyone with a small breed dog.

It's Easy

We trained our shih-tzu to use this product from the very start (she was about 4 months old) - it was easy. We crate trained her the usual way, only instead of taking her outside about an hour after she ate, we took her to the litter pan. She caught on quick, and we've been using it for the past 5 years, along with the doggie litter pan by the same brand (the sides are lower for dogs who have shorter legs than cats).
It is amazing. The #1 absorbs into the rolled newspaper pellets and disappears, and we just lift out the #2 with toilet paper and flush them. We change it about once a week and there's no bad odor. We all use the same bathroom - the dog uses her litter pan, and we use our "litter pan" (-the one that flushes).

Now living in the Southeast sometimes Hot weather doesn't permit walks..Thanks goodness for Second Nature. The only problem is as with most things..the price keeps going up..and Up..and UP !!!

If you don't have the extra time to spend with your dog or puppy then this product is not for you. However, if you spend the extra time it takes to train your dog or puppy then this is the BEST product ever. My puppy was very scared at first but I stayed by her side every time to encouraging her to "go potty". The pellets are a little weird and probably feel funny under her feet but she is trained now and I LOVE IT! I stopped giving her treats when she went potty outside and started giving her treats when she went inside. One day I heard her in the litter box and thought she was playing or eating it (they love to eat this stuff) but to my surprise she was going number 2. I didn't train her to go number 2 in it but now she knows where she can go potty when in the house. Spend the extra time and you'll love it. It does take about a week or two but they'll get it. BTW...There's a $2.00 off coupon in the litter for the litter box. So, open the litter while in the store to get your coupon.

I am a new pet owner of a 3 month old chihuahua. I have been able to litter box train her and quite quickly. I have a large home so I have 2 litter boxes, one on each end. I began giving her a treat each time she would go and it worked. She will also go outside but it is so nice not having to worry about letting the dog out all the time. I would recommend this product to any new small dog owner!!!

I didn't like this stuff
PostedMay 30, 2007
TristansMom
I got a recommendation for this product from a dog lover who has a web page about litter-training your dog. I only tried it once, but I won't try it again. I poured an entire 12-pound bag into my home-made dog litter pan (24"wide X 27"long), which filled it with about an inch of litter. My little dog (less than 10 pounds) had a hard time walking on it; his feet would slide as the pellets moved under his weight. It looked like it would hurt to walk on, but he didn't say. Also, this stuff breaks down into a lot of dust and, I don't know what to call it, stuff. It did absorb, though.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I tried it for my doggie, but she was 11 and sometimes it is tough to teach an old dog new tricks.
I gave it to a friend for her 3 month old Bichon and she tried to eat the pellets.
I'd still recommend it to folks with little dogs because of schedules, weather etc. it is a great product.

CindyLou
I have a 3 month old Chinese Crested and we had a really hard time getting him to go in th liter box all of the time. The pellets were just the right size to get stuck between his toes. He would use the liter box intermittently with caution. Great idea wish it worked for us. Smells great!! I also happened to but the largest bag so now we are using the liter for the Guinea Pigs. Works great for them!!!
I say give it a try. Maybe it will work for your dog.

It's not just for dogs...
PostedMarch 5, 2007
Ferretlady
I have 12 ferrets, which is a lot of clean up/odor. I began using this Dog Litter in their litter boxes, and was thrilled with the results.
The pellets are very absorbent and work quite well at odor control. Clean up is also easier with the pellets vs. cat litter.
We don't tell the ferrets they are using a product intended for dogs...anymore then we tell the dog that the ferrets are using this product.
Wish we could use this for dog, but at 90 lb, I just thought that a bit extreme ")

Great odor control, but product keeps changing.
PostedJuly 15, 2006
SandraK
from Chicago, IL
I used the Second Nature Dog Litter for about a year for my little chihuahua. Initially they had the large pellets and she was trained on them. The odor control was great, many times better than peepads. I changed the litter box every 7-10 days and had no odor problems.
However, Purina has now changed the formulation twice, initally to smaller pellets and then back to larger pellets. My dog has not adjusted well to the changes each time. So I have stopped using Second Nature and am using a similar paper pellet made for cats.
Advantages: Great odor control
Disadvantages: (1) Litter tracks around the house.
(2) Purina has changed the product twice without warning, leaving me with a dog that will go everywhere but in the new litter. Not a great idea for a product designed for an animal dependent on habit.
