Many pet owners turn to the Doggy Bathroom as their dogs age. As dogs grow older, holding it in or finding appropriate places to relieve themselves can become challenging. This can lead to stress for both pets and owners, especially when running late and worrying about getting home in time to let them out.

Accepting the signs of aging in our pets is tough, but ensuring their comfort can be one of the most compassionate acts we can do as pet owners. Pets are intuitive and can experience feelings of shame and embarrassment when they have accidents inappropriately—nothing is more heartbreaking than watching them struggle.

The Doggy Bathroom offers peace of mind for both you and your aging dog. It provides a designated space that is nearby, accessible, and private, reassuring you that your pet always has a suitable place to go. By giving your older dog their independence back, you’ll be rewarded with licks and cuddles.

Since aging is inevitable, introducing your senior dog to the Doggy Bathroom as early as possible can make the transition smoother. It’s much easier to train a puppy than an older dog, and this proactive approach can help alleviate one of the messiest issues that aging dogs often face.

If you’re looking for how to make an elder dog comfortable, start with the Doggy Bathroom Starter Kit that is packed with all of the essentials, our thick and fluffy pee pads designed for vertical absorption, and a super soft microfiber towel to keep them cozy.
