A portable animal waste device for use in conjunction with a standard household commode is described. A support structure, mounting a pivoting platform and emplaced over a toilet bowl, is connected to the toilet\s flush mechanism. The platform pivots between a lowered position for animal access upon the platform and a raised position following animal exit from the platform. The platform in its raised position forms a washdown enclosure with the support structure. When the platform is in its raised position, the washdown enclosure is washed down and the waste is disposed of by a flushing action. A sensing and electronic control system is provided to activate flushing action only when the animal has exited the platform for a predetermined period of time.
