Are "Wee Wee" pads available internationally? I find that they work well for my dogs when there is only an outside balcony available. Interested in knowing if they are pretty much available everywhere?
Thanks..

Obscure2K... the company that is the top maker of these pads is Four Paws. On their website they show the pads available in Canada, Puerto Rico and some of the US island territories:

One of my clients found a somewhat cheaper but equally effective pad to Wee Wee... incontinence pads which she picks up at the local CVS (Walgreens or other big drug chain or even the department stores like Target and WalMart should survice too.)
She uses the pads as a bottom of litter box liner in case the poor baby goes outside the box. I know of at least two other clients who says it's cheaper and works just like wee wee.
I'm guessing major supermarkets and drug stores overseas carry incontinece pads.
ANd here's a travel tip: pack a few pads and line the bottom of the sherba bag with one. Easy cleanup.
Hope this helps!

Thanks so much, Catman. ^
Actually, we use the pads, not so much for incontinence as convenience. When we can't get the dogs out for a walk they are very content to use the pads outdoors on a covered patio or balcony. It's a good solution; particularly when one has dogs who hate the rain.

That's exactly what I used when my elderly cat (who passed away in January) would sometimes miss the box . She would put her head in the box and her butt would hang outside. I put the incontinence pads outside the box. They were much cheaper than wee wee pads (we called them oui oui pads) and worked just as well.

o2k, I am sure that you will be able to find incontinence pads internationally. ;)

We have found these pads even in Eastern Europe. Sometimes you have to go to an upscale pet store (the type that sells expensive clothes for little dogs), and the pads are definitely more expensive because they are imported, but they are available!

:D...happy to be here!!:D Twice I have ordered wee wee pads, used, from some organization...very cheap because they were used...a little stain or small cut etc., couple of bucks apiece depending on how "damaged" they were. Not only good for travelling but at home when my hound got old...and NOW, ugh! good for me now that I have entered the "twilight years". Anway, anyone know of the site that sells used, cloth, large, pee pee pads. I have lost the addy? Love the site!! thanks bob langston, rn

This is the brand I recommend and I think are more absorbent than the Wee Wee brand.
