20. Pet shop's view on Pee Pan with Wire Flooring (PPW)

I asked the pet shop operator as to what is the use of the PPW?

He said:

1. It keeps the feet of the puppies clean as the urine falls onto the pee pan below. Stools are taken out by the owner or it drops onto the pee pan. The 8-12-week old puppy pees a lot of times but usually passes stools 2-5x per day. Stepping on urine makes the feet dirty.

2. Spray commercial urine spray onto the pee pan to attract the puppy to use PPW as the toilet location. Newspapers may also line the pee pan.

3. Put PPW on top of the newspapers. This is to encourage paper-training? Or prevent soiling of the floor tiles, I expect.

4. After eating, put the puppy onto of the PPW. See signs of elimination, put puppy on top of the PPW.

I need to add that the puppy should be confined to a small area. Otherwise, he may not use the PPW.

The picture of the PPW is in Case No. 19.
