With more and more concerns about our planet, we need to find a balance between our needs and the environment.
Take puppy training pads(also called pet pads, pee pads, potty pads, or wee wee pads) for an example, they are a necessity for our daily life with puppies but are not great for the environment. That’s because of the plastic back sheet and the non-woven fabric.
It’s necessary to add an eco-friendly function to ease the burden on the environment.

4. Washable mats
This kind of mat would be a good replacement for disposable pads. It could be washed 200 times and maintain its shape. It is more comfortable to use because they are soft, especially fit for baby and elderly dogs’ use.
For other items, such as pet wipes, more and more clients choose bamboo fiber material instead of normal non-woven fabric.
