Spill-resistant pet training pad

Abstract

A pet training pad includes a central absorbent pad on top of a waterproof bottom layer. The waterproof bottom layer covers one side of the central absorbent pad. The pet training pad also includes a wicking material around a periphery of the central absorbent pad and/or one or more fringe barriers around a periphery of the central absorbent pad. A pet training pad manufacturing method involves cutting a bottom waterproof plastic layer, placing die-cut absorbent layers on the bottom plastic layer and laminating or adhering the absorbent layers to the bottom waterproof plastic layer to keep the absorbent layers together and positioned, layering roll cut first fringe borders and wicking edges on the bottom waterproof plastic layer around borders of the absorbent layers and securing them in place, and cutting to create a final shape.
