Most pet parents know that pee pads are used to soak up and deal with a furbaby’s pee and they think that’s all! In this article, we’ll describe some of the various ways Pawtect® Pads could be used.

Though pee pads may be referred to as potty pads or wee-wee pads, pet parents are looking for the same thing: an easy, quick, and high-quality solution to a (usually urgent) problem. Your furbaby, and you, can benefit from Pawtect® Pads in many different ways.

The Different Uses of Pet Parents® Pawtect® Pads

For Potty Training and Housebreaking

Pet Parents® Pawtect® Pads are essential during your pup’s potty training and housebreaking stages. These pads are extremely helpful for:

  • New puppies at home that are still being potty trained and using the Pawtect® Pads as their “go-to” spot when they feel like taking a break.
  • Apartment dwellers who do not have a backyard or outdoor areas where your furbaby can do their potty businesses. Training dogs to potty on the pee pad is also great when going out is not an easy option.
  • Rescued dogs that you have welcomed into your home need these pads, too, as most are not potty trained and still getting used to their new environment. Pee pads will help them get settled in no time.
  • Senior dogs that may not always be able to make their way outside in time or have trouble doing so. You can use these pads as an additional spot if your senior dog struggles to make it outside to potty.
  • Furbabies with health issues that prevent them from being able to successfully potty outside. These pads play a perfect role in preventing messes caused by different urinary health issues, which also help alleviate stress from messy accidents so you can focus more on your furbaby’s health rather than the cleanup.

Pawtect® Pads pads are waterproof, leakproof & have a StickyPaw™ backing that grips the floor, providing an anti-slip grip.

For Incontinent Pets

Incontinence happens when a dog loses control of his bladder or bowel. Leaks can happen anytime, whether your furbaby is moving around or resting. One of the many uses of Pawtect® Pads is being placed on the couch, on the dog bed, or on the floor, where incontinent messes can be prevented.

Pawtect® Pads have a proprietary fabric blend that quickly wicks, absorbs, and holds in more liquid per square inch than other traditional pads in the market.

As a Crate Liner

Another one of the many uses of Pawtect® Pads is that these can be a crate lining. Whether it’s for additional comfort when your furbaby is laying down, as a separate area in the kennel, or as an appropriate spot for your pup to go potty, these pee pads are a purr-fect option!

Tip: If you used these pee pads as a go-to spot for your dog to relieve himself in his crate, emphasize the importance of having a separate space in the crate for him to lay; no one wants to see their precious pup laying in a puddle of pee, or covered in poo. Designate a pee pad for relieving and another one for laying down or for comfort to eliminate confusion.

Our Pawtect® Pads come in convenient packs of two, one as a relieving pad and the other one for playing down or one down where you need and another in the wash or on hand just in case! Always being able to cycle & never being left un-paw-tected.

As Whelping Pads

Another one of the many uses of Pawtect® Pads is that these can also be used as a whelping box bedding Why? Because after giving birth, your female dog will discharge lochia (the bloody, mucus-like discharge) in the following weeks. These pads can be changed out regularly and will help prevent her from soiling her litter and the whelping box, keeping them all warm, dry, and clean.

As Furniture Covering

Pawtect® Pads are a great way for you to pet-proof your car or your furniture at home. The sight of your dog resting or sleeping on your couch is usually all fine and dandy - until your furniture begins to tear and dog fur is literally everywhere. So, instead of not allowing your pets to be up on the couch, on your bed, or up on the car seat, pee pads will protect your furniture from claws, muddy paws, and fur.
