Pee Pads

Pee Pads

As we lose the ability to get to the bathroom, control our bladder, or control our bowel movements, these pads offer us and our beds some level of protection.

Description

Let me start by saying that I’m not a puppy. We had some of these pads left over from when Maverick, our Pomsky, was still a puppy. I started having issues with bladder control due to a combination of ALS and an enlarged prostrate. We started using these pads to save the bed. They work well because they are highly absorbent and cost-effective.

Fast forward to today. Even though I am using a Foley catheter, we continue to use these pads to handle bladder spasms and messy bowel movements.
