Abstract: A self-contained disposable animal commode is disclosed having a container with an access opening formed therein. The container includes a base portion defining a box-like receptacle having an open top and a cover portion cooperating with the base portion to define a substantially entirely enclosed space. The base portion of the container is adapted to support an animal for defecation and urination into a loose material and the cover portion of the container is movable from a collapsed position substantially conforming to the base portion to an expanded position. The container thus defines a substantially entirely enclosed space which can be collapsed for shipping and expanded for use. Additionally, the expanded position causes the cover portion to be positioned to comfortably receive the animal with the access opening positioned for ingress and egress of the animal therethrough.
