Frequently Asked Questions
Can these be machine washed and tumble dried?
Yes - these pads are machine washable up to 90 degrees (40 degrees recommended) and tumble dry safe on low heat. They also hang dry very quickly (energy saving option!)
How often do the pads need to be washed?
This does depend on the frequency of use and how much wee is passed. For small volumes, the pad can be washed every 2 or 3 days, but for larger volumes daily washing may be needed.
Can these be used for faecal incontinence?
Yes - they will protect surfaces from poop as well, but due to the nature of poop being solid, it will remain on the surface (rather than being absorbed). We recommend removing the bulk of poop with cloth before placing in the washing machine. These pads can also be coupled with our washable nappies for added protection in the case of faecal incontinence!
Do they stay leakproof after multiple washes?
Absolutely! One of the key benefits of our pads is that they are incredibly durable and waterproof, thanks to the bottom layer which is made of PU (polyurethane).
Do they keep the odour in?
Yes - we’ve found many people report that they rarely smell and washing them effectively removes odours.
How many times can a pad be used?
One reusable incontinence pad can be used and washed up to 300 times. Of course this depends on the nature of use and care.
How big are the pads?
Pads are 90cm by 80cm in size.
Can they be vacuumed?
Yes - these pads are thick and heavier than disposables, allowing you to easily run a vacuum over them if need.
How To Use
Incredibly easy to use:
- Simply place down over any surface that needs protecting: carpets, floors, sofas, beds, etc.
- Try to keep the pad as flat as possible to avoid urine pooling in any one area.
- Once used and ready for a wash, pick up all 4 sides at once and simply place in the washing machine!
- Tumble dry or hang dry and reuse.
Features & Benefits
Sustainability & Further Info
How are you and your dog helping our planet?
- Every pad is made of approx. 60% recycled polyester, hence reducing existing waste on our planet and demand for fresh resources.
- Each pad replaces up to 300 single-use disposable pads, reducing waste in landfill and plastic pollution.
- A life cycle assessment of disposable vs reusable incontinence pads found reusable pads outperform disposable in all key environmental impacts.
- Zero plastic packaging and packaged in recyclable FSC certified cardboard.
- Each pack of pads stops 100 plastic bottles from entering our oceans.
Materials: Recycled polyester, Polyester, rayon, PU laminating and silica gel non-slip.
Made in Hangzhou, China.
What do we need to improve on?
- Polyester as a material is still classed as a "plastic", so we are working on alternative fabrics that work just as well but are more eco-friendly.
- These are currently manufactured by our partners in China due to the availability of raw materials and expertise. We are finding ways to have them manufactured closer to home while staying affordable for pet owners.
Life cycle: Disposable vs Reusable Pads
Life cycle assessment is the most comprehensive & widely used tool to evaluate environmental performance of a product during it's entire life - from resource extraction, manufacturing, processing, use, to end-of-life disposal.
One simple solution to caring for your incontinent friend.

We know how upsetting and frustrating caring for an incontinent dog can be - constantly washing bedding, cleaning carpets and looking out for wet patches around your home.
