This is a sponsored post written by me. I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for STAINMASTER. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. #UnShameYourPet
Mr. Savvy and I only have fur kids, but we still sometimes get to deal with things that so many awesome parents experience daily. You know, never getting to use the bathroom alone, always having someone want your food, oh, and, the 3 P’s. Poop, pee and puke. Right now we only have cats so we are pretty lucky that we don’t have to deal with the pee and poop on the carpet most of the time, but accidents do happen. Puke on the other hand…well, thank God for paper towels. And for vacuums that really suck (literally) for all that fur. I always laugh at the pet shaming captions about dirty carpet because I can relate so well!
Charlie is the quirkiest cat I’ve ever had, but I about died when I witnessed this!
We still love our cats dearly, of course, and wouldn’t give them up for anything. But, sometimes it feels like it’s almost a part-time job just trying to keep the carpet looking nice. Did I mention that the only areas in our home without carpet are the kitchen and the 2 bathrooms? We tend to hang out by the TV in our living room or office the most, so those tend to be the most targeted areas for the 3 P’s. Luckily, when I catch the spots early, it’s not too bad. But, I did learn the hard way that there are dyes in cat food that can actually turn your carpet a yellow or even pink color if left too long to set in, which can unfortunately easily happen if you happen to be gone to an event or work all day. Sadly, it seems once the stains have set this way, there’s no real way that I’ve found to get the stain out, other than to replace a section of the carpet.
Tidbit and I have a special connection since I found her mewing outside at 5 to 6 weeks old, but she drives me nuts with her food addiction!
Because of all the dyes and such, pet stains tend to be a bit different from the typical kid and every day stains, so I always thought it would be neat to have a carpet that was made to specifically protect against pet stains. Which is why I thought it was so awesome to recently learn about STAINMASTER’s PetProtect carpet! Here’s a few of the reasons why I’m totally in love with the idea of this carpeting.

Chewie is such a handsome and awesome cat, but I’m honestly not sure I’d ever want another long-haired cat. ;)
Did I mention that I’m totally in love with the idea of this carpet? Since our cats like to act more like dogs and are rather clingy and like to be where we are, I would love to replace all of our carpet one day with STAINMASTER’s PetProtect carpet. It just may keep me from wanting to include Tidbit in a shaming caption one day!
Do your pets leave the 3 P’s all over your carpet? What’s been your worst pet mess?

thanks for the tips.
Stoic Kitty says
A combination of shaming and peer pressure might work. Take kitties picture and add a caption of her misbehavior. Post her captioned picture on a cat-shaming site and bring her over to see what has been posted publicly. Tell her that the cat community visits that site to see what naughty kitties have done. She will be so embarrassed by her bad behavior being exposed that she will never do it again.

I miss having a cat, but can’t say I miss the messes she used to make.

I dont have any furry friends in my home but I have family and firends who do. I’m sure dealing with the 3 P’s can’t be fun but sounds like the STAINMASTER’s PetProtect carpet is the way to go for pet owners
Lisa says
This carpet is pretty awesome.
Susan says
Yea, know what you mean, sometimes my cat gets out of hand, but I know that comes with pets.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
OH boy, you have your hands full with them. You definitely need that carpet to stand guard!
Sarah @Must Have Mom says
We definitely need new carpet! Between the dog and three little kiddos ours is trashed!
robyn says
I can’t imagine having to clean up cat hair. I am too busy dealing with all of my own hair that seems to be everywhere!
Pepper says
Honestly I can’t decide if animals or pets are worse on the carpet. That’s why we just ended up pulling our carpet out.
cindy says
those pictures and captions are hilarious! we are dog owners and I know that professional carpet cleaning is a MUST with those furry friends!
Trisha Haas says
I have 6 cats and a dog. I keep a clean house but I can So relate! Its an every day battle…puke or pee..its always one or the other!
Cat Davis says
I’m a super strict pet mama, I won’t let them in any of the carpeted rooms.
Billie @ Rowell Reviews says
The only room that has carpet is my son’s room. That also is the only room in the house all the animals are banned from. I do deal with the three P’s on my hardwood floors though.
Natalie says
I thought I’d experienced it all having had 3 dogs, but wow… cats sounds like a whole ‘nuther game!
Tonya says
We only have one dog and while we may find some dog hair, we don’t any other messes from him on our carpet. My kids are messier than he is!
Wendy says
I have 3 dogs and 3 cats, and often foster litters, so I GET IT. The only room in my house that has carpeting is the room we use as a cattery when we foster litters, so I need to try these things for sure!
Jennifer @TheRebelChick says
Oh boy, do I feel ya on the cat fur…we have three cats and it’s a never ending battle to keep their fur at bay!
