Can two dogs share one fake grass potty in a townhouse with no yard?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered

I’m getting a golden retriever puppy and already have an older dog (Bischon) who is 5yrs old. Currently we have a portable fake grass potty. Can they share one or is it better to have one each? we live in a townhouse with no yard! The puppy will be about 8 weeks old.

I would recommend you get a second fake grass potty for the puppy. Either one of the dogs may not necessarily find it attractive to poop or pee where the other dog does its business and so it is inviting "Accidents".
