Meta description: Gentle, practical tips for indoor pet accidents with puppies and cats, including cleaning and training help. A guide from Easy Pets, shipped across Australia.
Every pet parent has been there. A puddle on the carpet, a corner that keeps getting targeted, or a new puppy still learning the house rules. Indoor accidents are frustrating, but they're very common, and with a calm approach most pets learn quickly.
Here's how to keep things tidy and help your pet get it right.
Clean up properly
Pets are drawn back to places that smell like past accidents. Use a cleaner made for pet odours, and follow the label. Avoid harsh cleaners that can make the spot smell like a toilet area again.
For marking, the Brady's Don't Pee Here Indoors Tablets dissolve in water to make up to 500ml of spray. Apply to carpets, floors or furniture to discourage repeat marking.
Support indoor toilet training
Puppies and kittens learn best with a routine. Take them to their toilet spot after meals, naps and play, and reward them straight away when they go in the right place. A small treat pouch makes rewards quick, such as the KONG Rewards Wrapz. For bite-sized training treats, the Black Dog Mixed Yoghurt Drops (1kg) are handy for a quick reward.
If your puppy is new to the house, keep an eye on them and take them outside often.
Keep the litter tray clean
For cats, a clean and comfortable tray is key. The Elite Pelletized Pine Cat Litter (15kg) is a natural, absorbent option in a bulk size, and the Cat Litter Oz Pet (15kg) is a straightforward choice for households with one or more cats.
When to see a vet
If accidents suddenly start, or your pet seems to be straining, drinking more than usual or unwell, book a vet check. A health issue can cause changes in toilet habits.
