They also do not usually smell\u00a0 as strongly as traditional litterboxes do.<\/p>\n<h4>Dog and Cat Wipes<\/h4>\n<p>Wipes are a great alternative to washing, although they are not a replacement for baths. It may be a great deal easier for older adults to do themselves than bathing their dogs, and then for the real bathing they can rely on groomers or friends.<\/p>\n<h4>Waste Scoops<\/h4>\n<p>For those with dogs, waste scoops can be a great thing because they do not have to bend all the way down to the ground and stand back up. They may require dexterity in one&#8217;s hands, so your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow we&#8217;re going to talk some more about cleaning up after pets, so please stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this month, we are talking all about cleaning, with [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[311,506,371],"class_list":["post-9415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-caregivers","tag-cleaning","tag-pets"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cleaning Up After Pets Pt. 1 - Louisville<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"For this month, we are talking all about cleaning, with a focus on older adults.
