extra large dog pee pads
Despite your best efforts and coaching to teach your dog to NOT pee inside, sometimes your dog may have reasons working against his ability to wait to go outside (old age, bladder issues, and other factors could be legitimate factors leading to your dog having pee accidents on your rug).
For a cost ranging from $15 – $50 depending on the brand and the number of pads in a box, you can set up an indoor potty solution for young puppies, older senior dogs and any situation you may be facing. The pads have multiple layers of protection and frequently have a gel to lock-in the urine. They are very good at capturing the smell so you do not smell the pee.
For $13 you can get a 30-pack of Jumbo sized dog pee pads from Glad (yes, the well-known trash bag company). They have a 4.5 star rating from over 15,000 reviews on Amazon.
