INCONTINENT PADS

I am in need of some waterproof pads for Wally who is incontinent and paralyzed. I need to be able to wash and dry them in the washer and dryer. Has anyone ordered these from somewhere? Thank you for all of your support. Everyone is so helpful.

stairs for paralysis




I am wondering if anyone has tried touse the doggie stairs for a dog that has paralysis in their back legs? I wouldn't think it would be a good idea for the dog to try to drag himself up. Has anyone had any experience using the doggie stairs?
