Medline Absorbent Incontinence Pads For Animals, 150-Pack

One of the most difficult aspects of having a pet is dealing with incontinence. It can happen for multiple reasons. Sometimes, animals are too young to have control of their bladder. For example, puppies cannot control when they go to the potty until they are at least 16 weeks old. Other times, old age or illness can affect your pet’s ability to control their bladder.

It’s important to have the right tools on hand so you can manage the mess without getting frustrated. Incontinence pads for animals are small disposable or reusable mats that your pet can use to go to the bathroom. They typically have multiple layers that help to contain the mess and smell. For example, some incontinence pads for animals have a thick layer on the bottom which protects your floors, followed by a layer that locks moisture in. There is usually a polymer core layer on top of that which turns the liquid to gel. This is followed by an absorbent sheet and quilted top pad. Together, these different layers make it easy to clean up after your incontinent pet so you enjoy more time together without worrying about the mess.

• Consider whether you want a disposable or reusable incontinence pad for your animals. A reusable pad is ideal if your situation is temporary, such as when you’ve got a new puppy, for example. Eventually, you will be able to train them to go to the bathroom outdoors and may no longer need the incontinence pads. However, if your situation is longer-term, such as dealing with a pet who is old or has an illness that prevents them from controlling their bladder, you may be better off with disposal pads.
• Keep in mind that reusable pads require regular washing and drying between each use, while disposal incontinence pads for animals can be quickly thrown away.
• Consider how many incontinence pads for animals you need. Reusable pads are sold in small quantities, while disposable ones are sold in packs of 30, 50, 100 or more.
• The size of your pet will affect the size of incontinence pad you will need. Small pets and baby animals will naturally require small pads, while large pets and adult animals will require large ones.
