Pee under the Puddle Pads...argh! Why is there more pee under the puddle pad, than on it? I have Apple's puddle pads on the tile floor, but I'm constantly throwing them away, and cleaning the tile, because they are soaked underneath, not on top! Sometimes I think I ought to just let her wet on the tile floor, 'cause I'm still wiping up the pee pee, under...What'sup w/this? p.s...also, she's such a diva, that if there is one (maybe two) pees on the pad, she's not interested...is this the norm for these little toots? |
What kind of pads are you using?? It may be the pads themselves... We went through some of the pricey brands that macy just tinkled right through :eek: We now put a a piece of vinyl under the whole area where her pad is, plus about 2 inches on each side... It helps if they leak, or if she misses :rolleyes: And yes, my macy wont use her pad again if there are more than 3 tinkles on it. She will use my floor instead... |

HI, Thor's puppy pads were doing that also, I SAW him once and he was peeing right on the edge of the pad, making it drain down under the pad. That may be what is happening to you also. |
Remy usually lifts his leg at this point, so having the pee pad laying flat on the floor did not work because he would partially hit the wall, or pee off the pad and it would go underneath. Now I fold the pee pad partially (4-6 inches) up the wall. Problem solved! When he lifts his leg it is impossible for him to miss the pad... I also buy adult (people) incontinence pads which are much larger than doggy pee pads |
Purina makes a doggie litter box that I would put the pads inside the box, this way, they have to step into the box to pee or poop and NOT on the edge of the pad. This also help them to realize not to do potty on carpet ;) |
Roxie will use her once. Sometimes not at all she likes to pee on the dang throw rug. That annoys me. I've had to put newspaper under the pad in case she goes too close the edge but the vinyl sounds much better! |
This happened to me all the time when we were using the disposable pads. I bought some washable ones from Home and never had this happen again. If it's too dirty they'll go NEXT to it though:laugh: :rolleyes: |
If you are going to use disposable pads, then the litter box idea sounds the best so that they step in and out when they go. Penny will sometimes go right on the edge of a pad on the floor and urine will be under the pad also. (We don't have a litter box because we are about to switch her to the Pet Loo instead.) We purchase the human bed pads at Sam's Wholesale. They are much cheaper than the dog pads and larger too. Penny will only use a pad 2 to 3 times depending on where the wet spots are. She has to have enough room on the pad to walk around to go or she will go next to the pad instead. This is why we can not get off day 0 on the YT potty log. :rolleyes: I think we would have to have two litter pans if we were going to go that route. We are really hoping that the Pet Loo will enable her to go several times a day in the same spot. I will report how it goes a couple of weeks after we get it. |
Chloe Primrose likes to use the edge of the pad, sometimes she will have all 4 paws on the pad and hang her butt off the edge. I started putting newspaper under the pads and this soaks up the pee. I still have to clean the floor but at least its not puddled under the pad. She will only use it 2 times before I have to lay a clean pad. |
Buy the pee pad holder. It fastens the pad in place and the lil one has to step in to use it. Its worked miracle for me! Lola use to miss the pad 3 out of 5 times. I've used the pee pad holder for some time now and no more accidents :D and a lot less paper towels getting wasted. |
I now have a piece of cardboard, with a layer of newspaper on top and then her pad on top of that. Meka is little miss diva as well... and if she's peed a few times on her pad, she'd rather pee/poop on the floor next to it than on it. I change the padding daily and still have problems with her pee/pooping next to the pad :( |
You need to use the washable potty pads. They will help A LOT!! They are waterproof and MUCH more absorbent. I make them to sell. If you want to get any from me you can click on the link in my signature. |
