I actually bought this to use as a type of tray to put my inside puppy's training pad on. I'm gone for 12 hours a day and now that he is older, he still needs a place to potty. So I just keep this in the corner with his puppy pad I use 36X36 bed pad instead) on it and it works GREAT. He uses it every time and I just change the pad. I'm greatful. We had to replace flooring before I found this.lol
