Towels As Homemade Piddle Pads

Purchase a roll of plastic carpet runner. You can find 5 foot rolls at KMart, Walmart or most hardware and home improvement stores. Be sure you purchase the runner that has the "gripping teeth" on the underside of it to help it remain secure on the flooring. This runner is normally used for high-traffic areas of your home to protect the carpet from wear and dirt. It also makes an excellent waterproof foundation that you can cut to size in any configuration to fit the area you need protected. Another plus is that you can also wash it, as needed.

Next, purchase a supply of towels from a dollar store or resale shop like the Salvation Army stores. Put the towels on the top of the carpet runner and launder when dirty.

Still want to use potty pads? Go to eBay where you can purchase them in bulk that are far less expensive than the local pet store. Search terms are, "potty pads" or "incontinence pads" or "puppy pads" - and be sure to compare several sellers for price difference and delivery times.
