| Well, I don't think there's really any other way other than the ones you listed. Pee-pads, paper, washable pee-pads and artificial grass are about the only ways to go when it comes to indoor pottying. Outside is another option and the one I personally recommend and prefer!

| YOu know, I thought the exact same thing but I went ahead and tried the cloth ones and BAM! That was the END of our potty training woes. She has yet to pee or poop anyplace else since we got them. We were having quite the time before that, even with the disposable ones. Quote:

| I am kinda thinking the same thing. Do the washable ones seem to be the preference for your furbabies, or are disposables ok? Baylee is okay with going on them, she is still young though so i cant be too mad when she makes a mistake

| My grandma lived with me the last 8 yrs (passed away now) and she had alzheimers and was incontinent so I bought these washable pads for her bed and chair and what not so she wouldn't leak on the furniture. I just cut them in half and sewed them up and they're perfect! Also, they're nice because the throw aways don't soak in the pee fast enough and Curly's feet would always get wet and she'd track it on the floor. Not anymore, these soak in the moisture really fast and no more pp foot prints! I have 6 and use about 1 pad for 2 days each but my son picks up her poop and flushes it as the day goes on. |

| I ordered my washable pee pads on line. I think it was Fourpaws.com. They work great.

| I'll tell you I would give anything if I could remember where I got them but it was a good 10 yrs ago when she came to live with me and I can't, for the life of me, remember now. They do have a vinyl leak proof backing to them. I have to sew them because there are a few layers to them so when you cut them in half, (we use smaller ones cuz Curly is so little) the layers would separate on one half and not hold in the pee. Mine are a lot like the hospital pads they sell on ebay but I like mine a lot better. I bought some from ebay and they're good, but mine are great lol. Quote:

| we have all 4 of ours pad trained and i switched to the cloth ones and they are much better than the puppy pads and better for our envro.we have a new girl and she was having trouble going out side but now no more mistakes and just turned 5 months. i got the dog pads at pet smart and the human ones at the drug store .they wash great and dont leak on the carpet and very little odor.
