Use flat, washable layers
Choose liners and pads that stay flat, dry quickly and do not bunch under the dog or create a slippery edge.
UK RECOMMENDATIONS
Cleaning, Toileting & Daily Care
Daily IVDD care can involve accidents, bladder or bowel support, bedding changes and repeated cleaning. These practical UK products are selected to make hygiene routines easier while protecting crates, beds, carpets and the surrounding recovery area.
For absorbent pads and mats, prioritise reliable coverage and easy washing or disposal. For cleaning products, follow label directions carefully, keep treated surfaces away from your dog until safe to use again, and choose routines that minimise unnecessary lifting or movement.
Daily care
Make hygiene routines easier without turning recovery into constant handling
For dogs with reduced mobility, small practical choices can reduce repeated lifting, bedding changes and rushed clean-ups. The aim is not to medicalise everyday care, but to make the recovery area easier to keep clean, dry and predictable.
Follow the product label
Keep cleaning products away from the dog during use, ventilate as directed and allow surfaces to dry before contact.
Reduce unnecessary movement
Keep frequently used supplies close so routine care can be completed calmly without repeatedly repositioning the dog.
