Unleashing Pet Product Innovation: How Wazoodle Fabrics Empower Sustainable, Washable Pet Gear

The Pet Care Revolution: Why Sustainable Pet Products Are Reshaping the Industry

The pet industry is in the midst of a transformation, one driven not by luxury but by necessity. Veterinary care costs have climbed more than 60% since 2014, and more than half of U.S. pet owners (52%) have skipped or delayed essential care because of rising expenses (Gallup/PetSmart Charities, 2025). This cost crisis has inspired a new wave of pet product innovation, where health, longevity, and sustainability take priority over short-term convenience.

Today’s pet owners are taking prevention into their own hands. According to Packaged Facts, 76% of pet owners now seek products that actively improve their pets’ health and wellness, turning to solutions that make care simpler and more affordable over time (Packaged Facts, Petfood Forum 2025). They are investing in sustainable pet products that reduce waste, minimize chemical exposure, and support better hygiene, choices that make sense for both pets and the planet.

“We made cloth diapers and looked for an absorbent fabric to use for diaper inserts... The leftover scraps I used to make belly bands for my greyhound, they work great!” — Karina C., Zorb® Original Fabric

Stories like Karina’s show how creators are harnessing eco-friendly pet textiles to build functional, washable gear that saves costs and reduces waste. This is where textile innovation becomes the foundation for a healthier, more sustainable pet care future, one Wazoodle Fabrics proudly helps bring to life.

 

How Performance Pet Fabrics Transform Washable Pet Gear

As pet owners search for smarter, longer-lasting solutions, washable pet gear is becoming the new industry standard. The difference lies in the material itself. Traditional fabrics often lose strength or leak after a few washes, while Wazoodle’s waterproof pet fabric technologies are built to perform, again and again.

Crafted from advanced performance materials, these textiles combine moisture control, flexibility, and durability to create products that stay effective through hundreds of wash cycles. From crate liners and pet beds to waterproof fabric for DIY dog beds, these materials deliver comfort and protection without compromising safety or sustainability.

All Wazoodle fabrics meet CPSIA compliance standards, ensuring they’re free from harmful chemicals and safe for pets. Proudly made in the USA, these performance pet fabrics support responsible manufacturing and empower creators to produce reusable pet accessories that truly stand the test of time.

“Wazoodle fabric is superb, soft, flexible, and hot-water washable!” — Rae Davis, ProSoft® Waterproof ECO-PUL™

Zorb Super Absorbent Fabrics: The Game-Changer for Pet Hygiene Products

Every successful line of sustainable pet products begins with one essential element, reliable absorbency. That’s where Zorb® Super Absorbent Fabrics redefine what’s possible. Engineered with proprietary 3D Fiber Matrix Technology, Zorb absorbs up to ten times its weight in fluids while distributing moisture evenly throughout the material. Unlike traditional absorbent layers that pool or leak, Zorb maintains consistent performance through repeated washing, helping makers design reusable, long-lasting pet hygiene solutions.

For creators of DIY pet products, this technology is a game-changer. Whether you’re crafting washable pet diaper fabric by the yard, cage liners, or training pads, Zorb’s Ready-AbZORB™ Technology ensures instant absorbency, no prewashing needed. Its versatility allows one fabric to serve multiple purposes, reducing waste while enhancing comfort and cleanliness for pets of every size.

“I have two large dogs with incontinence issues, 10-gallon bladders, and not one drop came out of their belly bands. I may get my house back thanks to Zorb!” — Vanessa C., Zorb® Original Fabric

“One layer of Zorb holds as much, if not more, than two layers of U-Haul pads. The liner was lighter and stayed drier.” — Wheek Dreams Designs

Zorb transforms performance expectations into everyday reliability, delivering absorbent power that supports a cleaner, more sustainable future for pets and their people.

ProSoft PUL: Waterproof Pet Materials That Stay Soft and Flexible

When it comes to building washable pet gear, absorption is only half the equation; waterproof protection completes the performance. That’s where ProSoft® PUL excels. Engineered as a premium waterproof pet fabric, it features TPU Barrier Fusion Technology, a solvent-free process that heat-bonds the barrier layer without harmful adhesives or chemicals. The result: an eco-friendly waterproof fabric for pet products that’s safe, flexible, and remarkably durable.

Unlike traditional plastic-coated textiles that crack or stiffen, ProSoft Waterproof 300X maintains its softness and elasticity through 300+ wash cycles. It’s fully CPSIA compliant, ensuring that every inch of material used in your pet beds, crate liners, or DIY pet diapers meets the highest safety standards.

“First time sewing with PUL. Great product! I expected it to be difficult to sew, but I just took my time, cut carefully, clipped a lot, and it worked out great. Perfect for dog incontinence garments and covers.” — Janet Picard, ProSoft® ECO-PUL™

Soft to the touch, tough on moisture, and proven through years of textile innovation, ProSoft PUL is the waterproof pet material that transforms everyday ideas into long-lasting, sustainable solutions.

ProCool® Performance Fabrics bring the science of comfort to life with advanced moisture management and temperature-regulating performance materials designed for active pets.

From Concept to Market: How DIY Pet Products Are Solving Real Problems

Every great innovation begins with a simple idea and the right material to make it real. Across the country, creators are transforming Wazoodle fabrics into DIY pet products that improve daily life for pets and their owners alike.

Zorb’s unmatched absorbency and ProSoft’s waterproof protection are helping small businesses design reusable pet accessories that outlast disposable alternatives and deliver measurable cost savings.

“I wanted to make fabric liners for my guinea pigs but wanted something more absorbent than a towel or a U-Haul pad. Plus, I love that this fabric has no shrinkage!” — dollparts, Zorb® Original Fabric

For many, these projects evolve from personal necessity into thriving small-batch brands. The result? A growing movement of entrepreneurs using sustainable pet materials to turn creativity into lasting impact, one washable, eco-friendly product at a time.
