Protect-A-Pet
The Protect-A-Pet is designed for small pets to use in the home when they are not in their carts.
It is great for overnight use as it collects feces and urine, helping to make morning cleanup easier.
For excessive urination, we recommend putting your pet in a male wrap or female diaper while inside the Protect-A-Pet.
