I have used the disposable potty pads for Birkin for a year now and they work sometimes, but mainly they are a pain. This is because they tend to leak through as he has gotten bigger and he has trouble getting on the middle of the pad rather than the edge. It’s quite a pain to have to clean up leaks and buy several packs a month.

I have heard of Potty Patch and other reusable potty pad devices for pets and most recently I found one called the Pup-Head Potty. This potty device is made up of three tiers, a non-slide base, a middle layer, and a top layer of some special astro turf type synthetic grass.

I haven’t ordered one yet, however, with every mess I clean up and every purchase of more disposable pads the idea is becoming more and more wonderful. The reviews say that most dogs take to it rather quickly and have a better understanding of whether they are on or off of it so no edge problems.

Hopefully I will get one soon and give you my own review of this product. Here are some pics of a round mini potty and square mini potty from Pup-Head. Have a kawaii day!

Pet carriers and carseats are great ideas for keeping pets safe and taking them with you when you travel. There are some very cute and practical carriers out there to choose from. Never leave your pet in a hot car and restrain your pet in a harness, seatbelt, carseat, or carrier while traveling. Check airline rules & fees and pet-friendly hotels when traveling with your pet. There are several great travel accessories for pets: collapsible silicone water/food bowls, disposable litter boxes, harnesses, leashes, collars, pet calming treats, etc. Make traveling with your pet fun and safe.

The coolest brand I’ve seen so far is the Sleepypod. There are three types of Sleepypods: The Original Sleepypod, The Mobile Sleepypod, and the Sleepypod Air.

All three carriers can be easily buckled snugly into an automobile seat. The Mobile is a smaller version of the Original round carrier that can fit underneath the airline seats for in-cabin flight. The Sleepypod Air is made special for air travel because it fits underneath the airline seats and has special zippers that unzip to slide the carrier onto rollable luggage handles. Very convenient.

These carriers have comfy luxury liners that turn them into beds for your pets while traveling and while at home. They have strong mesh that helps your pet breathe, see out, and stay cool. There are also padded liners that you can get for accidents, supersoft blankets called Cloudpuffs for the carrier or use by itself, and Crater Dot comfy beds. There’s even an insertable heating pad that fits in all of the carriers that plugs into either the wall or car adapter.

The only negative thing about these carriers is the price. They are about $130.00 for the Mobile and $150.00 for the Original. It’s pretty steep but it is three things in one, made well, and comes in several pretty colors. They have shoulder straps and hand straps.

Here are some pics. I hope to get one for Birkin and one for Rainbow & Fluffy sometime in the future…maybe for Christmas. Have a kawaii day!
