Bio-Degradable Wee Pads: Housetraining the Green Way
House-training a puppy or leaving an incontinent dog alone at home for extended hours makes it a problem for them to get relieved. These often lead to health problems (UTI, for example). Spreading newspapers all over the ground for your pet to urinate or pass stools is also not a very feasible option. At best, one can put a wee pad on a tray, but that again invites more problems, since puppies, when left alone, take their frustration and anxiety out on anything that is chewable or within reach. Unless the pad is made from biodegradable material, it can pose a serious risk on a dog’s health.
Defining biodegradable wee pads
Biodegradable wee pads come in both reusable and disposable forms. The reusable pads have cloth and plastic layering and can easily be cleaned in a washing machine. Disposable and biodegradable wee pads come pretreated with urine-attracting odor. The biodegradable wee pads must have the ability to compost and should be free from petroleum derivatives. The best ones have natural cellulose for fibers, tree pulp as the absorbent core, and biodegradable film as the outer layer. At the same time, they must also be durable, shed-resistant, and completely sealed to prevent any sort of leakage. It is an added advantage if the wee pad also fits into pet carriers.
