Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Items to help deal with excess urination

Thought I would put these suggestions on separate thread as I know excess urination is a problem most dogs with these diseases have due to prednisolone:

I have personal experience of this item below as I use it for my litters of beagle pups and they do an awful amount of urine and these hold a lot and are brilliant,I live in UK so this is a UK website but I know they ship internationally too but the nugi is originally from Japan I believe, so you might find a USA supplier.The nugi tray comes with a nugi pad but you will certainly need to buy the set of 2 replacement pads so that when you're drying them off you always have dry one to use.So easy to clean you just run them under a shower hose or running tap and the urine runs off and no smell whatsoever then I just stick mine to shower wall or side of bath to dry read the reviews on links below.Great for incontinent dogs whether due to medication)or age as well as training pups(I use it for my beagle Spike who has epilepsy and the medication makes him need to urinate more):

Set of 2 replacement pads: you will definitely need these:

It says the pads can be reused around 50 times I can assure you it's at least 3/4 times that amount as I have had my set of 3 pads for years and through a number of litters of beagle pups.Note about the pads when they come they have a plastic backing with the word Nugi on DO NOT REMOVE this.

If you dont like the idea of the nugi tray and pads here's another suggestion below:
