Is it possible to switch her to pads in her litterbox? Am I tempting fate by trying to do this? I don't want to undo her wonderful box habits. I was thinking of putting a pad and some litter on top and then slowly reducing the litter.
Has anyone tried this? |
I used litterboxes with litter pellets for most of Barney and Daisy's lives until Teddy came on the scene and was not trainable with the system. I switched to washables and started my company.
I use washables both ways - inside the litter box and also straight on the floor. I do this because Teddy has some issues with confinement and won't always enter the box. The other two dogs are fine with either option, but if given the choice, they would rather go in the box then just on the pad.
If your litter boxes work, I'd put the pads (washables or disposables as you deem fit for your home/lifestyle) right inside the box. I take mine out and about twice a week, I sanitize the box just to keep things clean and fresh.
Good luck!
