Where do you get a waterproof blanket?

Nov 25, 2008 by Adam H | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts

My dog urinates on the bed and i need something to put over for him to lay on.

---

ummm well they make puddle pads for babies that i think are made out of wool and they say that wool is water resistant. I looked into these pads for a baby and they are pretty pricey.

i would suggest buying one of those plastic covers in what ever size your bed is, u can slide the whole mattress in them and they zip up, u should be able to get them at walmart or target. so that way if he does get it on the bed at least u can wash everything and it wont get to your mattress.

and after u do the plastic cover thing, ummmmm have u seen those commericals for Shamwow, I don't know how well they work but they are supposed to be REALLY adsorbent. They can be pricey BUT they have ones with a different name that are the same thing called Zorbeez, u can get them cheap at the site below. give them a try, u can wash and re-use them.

Good luck!

Pet Care in Cold Temperatures: Protect Your Pets in Winter Months

When the frigid winter months arrive, humans bundle up in extra layers of coats, boots, scarves, and hats. But what are pets to do to be comfortable in the cold? Here are some suggestions for caring for pets when the temperatures drop.

Winter Pet Care Tips

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals offers ten tips for caring for pets during winter months. The tips include:

Keep cats indoors to protect them from freezing. Outdoor cats sometimes sleep under the hoods of cars during cold weather. If there are outdoor cats in the vicinity, bang on the car hood before starting the car engine so the cat can escape. Don’t let dogs off the leash in snow or ice. Dogs can lose their scent and become lost, especially during a snowstorm. After walking the dog on snow or ice, wipe off his legs and stomach to get rid of salt, antifreeze or other snow-removal chemicals. The dog could ingest these dangerous substances while licking his paws. Allow the dog’s coat to grow longer in the winter to provide warmth. When bathing the dog in winter months, be sure to completely dry the coat before he goes out for a walk. If the dog has short hair, get a dog coat or sweater for him to wear on walks. Don’t leave dogs or cats alone in a car during cold weather. The animal could freeze to death. Puppies don’t handle the cold weather as well as adult dogs, so it might be challenging to housebreak a puppy during winter months. Paper-training puppies inside could be an option during cold weather. For dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors, increase their food, especially protein. Don’t forget that antifreeze is poison for dogs and cats. Clean up any spills from vehicles and choose products that contain propylene glycol instead of ethylene glycol. Provide a warm bed for dogs or cats, away from cool drafts. Outdoor Dog House

For outdoor dogs, the Humane Society of the United States recommends a dry, draft-free house. The house needs to be big enough for the dog to sit and lie down in, but small enough that it holds the dog’s body heat. Be sure the floor of the outdoor dog house is raised a few inches off the ground and covered with cedar shavings, blanket strips, or straw to make the dog house bed. Check the bedding regularly to make sure that it has not gotten wet. To protect the outdoor dog from the effects of wind, the house should be positioned facing away from the wind and the door flap made of heavy waterproof fabric or plastic. It’s good to remember that pets need exercise, but if the temperature drops below freezing, they should not be left outdoors for extended periods of time.
