Removing stains
Out of all the brands that treat pet stains this one stands out. This takes out the smell on any floor. If dawkins misses the ruggable rug and hit a rug that is not washable I use this along with a huggies baby wipe and it clears the stain perfectly!
Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator
Huggies all the way. I have tried off label brands but they do not work as well and they are softer on him. They retain moisture and pick up messes a lot easier.

After you lay down the pee pad or under pad, place a fleece blanket on top of it. The fleece blanket wicks away the urine from your dog or cat so that they are not sitting in a puddle of wetness all night while they sleep.
