Gave me my life back.
My parents have a senior dog they are unable to care for properly, and I was in quite a moral predicament over that situation. Instead of going through legal methods,I decided to take responsibility of the dog for the sake of the dog, which required daily or every other day visits to make sure puppy pads were always swapped out. No matter what brand or size I used it was always a disaster. And this is just a little shih-tzu over the course of a day or two! The pads would always be sopping and leaking or kicked around, I just was at my wits end and emotionally and mentally miserable trying to deal with my parents and trying to ensure the dog was taken care of hygienically. And no matter what I did or said,I couldn't make things better regarding the puppy pads.
It just felt so hopeless,because there's a solution for other similar problems, like auto-waterers,feeders,self-cleaning litterboxes,but what to do about puppy pads?
And then I learned about washable pads. And I got more excited,the more I read. I went with Rocket & Rex for the excellent reviews,even if I found the price steep,I rolled the dice on it.
I am so thankful I did. The pads held up like a champ and even though they were used,they always looked clean,they always stayed put,they didn't track or leak! And as others have put it,they washed like a dream! I added in vinegar with the laundry detergent as it said not to use bleach. Washing them twice in a row got rid of the urine smell on the heavier soaked pads,and I've had similar results with just a long soak,as well. They really did come out looking brand new and ready for action.
And I'm just so thankful. I am able to go in and check on things twice a week,allowing me some of the distance I desperately needed,while ensuring the dog always has a clean place to go. To me,it's just priceless.
