For some of us, last minute vacations, back to school shopping, and first day jitters might be descending upon our families. For others, we have a few weeks left to relax and enjoy the summer. No matter whether you are prepping for back to school routines or enjoying the dog days of summer, and you have a pet in your life (especially a senior dog or puppy) then you need LoveStoree pads.

LoveStoree, based in Chicago, is a minority owned company that aims to provide pet owners with sustainable products. In case you aren't aware, disposable puppy pads can take 500 years to degrade. While they are plastic, they are not recyclable or compostable. Plus, that expensive adds up if you are training or dealing with senior dog issues. 

Aiming to find an easily, affordable solution, LoveStoree was created to provide pet owners with sustainable pads to use as leakproof protection for homes. Pads provide leakproof protection via four layers of waterproof technology and also absorbs odors so that smells don't permeate homes. 

While meant for pets, these pads can also be used as floor protection from humans too!

• Training your puppy?
• Senior dog bladder issues?
• Toddlers that love to make a mess with Play-Doh?
• Known for constantly spilling your coffee because the dog trips you? 
• Want a nonslip mat for your kitchen while washing dishes/ cooking?
• Need a safe door-entry mat? 
• Perhaps even need a yoga/ stretching mat? (Although its not really big enough for full body floor stretching). 

No problem for LoveStoree because these pads are washable and reusable! Wash regularly, don't use bleach, or mix with whites. The mats can be line-dried or placed in the dryer, if desired. 

My own pup often gravitates towards the kitchen when he can't control his bladder or bowels. Whether it's the middle of the night or if I'm at work, that's usually where I can find his accidents. I rescued him as a senior dog, and he was already puppy pad trained, which has been helpful. 

LoveStoree pads come in sets of 2 at the size of 36 X 36. Perfect for kitchens, door areas, and other places your dog might "go" when they can't find you to go outside. The set of two means that an extra one is available while the first is being washed. 

The bottom contains a non-skid surface, which is great for staying in place when your pup gets the zoomies! Trust me, every dog, no matter their age, gets the zoomies, especially after summer thunderstorms.

These mats are non-toxic with Oeko- TEC certified fabrics. Using a PLU method, there are two available designs that might match your decor: Mandala Pink or Mandala blue. 

I received a set of each color and note that these pads do add a pop of color in my apartment!

 I currently have a pad in the kitchen, one near his dog bed, one in my bedroom, and one in the spare bedroom. There are enough that if we do have an accident, I can pull from a different location to cover the area until it's washed. 

For some spaces, these pads can also substitute as a floor rug, especially in the bedroom, as the pad is located at the base of the dog stairs leading up to my bed. 

The same in the living room, as it's located at the base of the stairs leading up to the furniture. 

I'll be honest and say that we haven't had any accidents yet, but it's always better to be prepared than to not have anything on hand. What I do wonder if whether he will utilize these options, as most pets have been taught to not "go" on carpets or rugs. I have washed the one in the kitchen and it does hold up well, though! 

We don't have any of those in my home, so it shall be interesting the next time that Chachi has an accident! 

As we head into the dog days of summer, this is the perfect opportunity to invest in a sustainable eco-friendly product that also livens up your home! Maybe you aren't puppy training, but if you are heading back to school and your dog's anxiety takes over at the new routines of all the humans in the house, it might be worth investing in LoveStoree.
