What Are The Benefits Of Puppy Pads & Dog Pads?

• Save you lots of time and effort cleaning up + contain odors to the pads themselves (as opposed to inside your carpet)
• Protect your house surfaces like carpets from mess (pee, poop, vomit, dirt/wet paw marks), stains and damage – saving you cleaning and replacement costs
• And are very easy to dispose of and replace
• Are excellent for those with small dogs living in inner city apartments, or those with dogs with restricted movement, or health conditions 
• Can use them for travelling to place in a car under your pet

What To Look For In Good Puppy Pads & Dog Pads?

• Multiple Layers
• Absorbent layers on top, and water proof layers on the bottom
• Thicker top layers that hold more liquid – the thinner pads don’t hold as much pee and when you pick them up they may leak if you dont fold them properly
• Odor absorbing qualities
• Bottom layers have some sort of waterproof guarantee
• Puppy/Dog Attractant (although it’s questionable as to how well these attractants work)

Should I Use Puppy Pads For My Puppy or Dog?

Reasons why you would use puppy training pads:

• If you are at work for a good part of the day
• If you are leaving your puppy at home alone
• If you don’t want to install a pet door
• If you are worried about your floor being stained or damaged
• If it’s very hot or very cold outside and you want your puppy staying inside the house until they get a bit bigger and better able to deal with the outside environment
• If you have a sick dog who can’t move outside regularly
• If you have a senior dog who has trouble moving regularly
• If you live in an inner city apartment and for whatever reason your dog doesn’t have the opportunity to regularly get outside in the morning or during the day
• If you are travelling somewhere and you want to give some protection to your dog’s crate or your car interiror

Reasons why you would not use puppy pads are:

• If you are ok just using newspaper – although note that newspaper isn’t exactly waterproof or absorbent so if you have carpets this is a problem
• Disposable pads contribute landfill – not exactly environmentally friendly
• If you don’t want your dog to get into the habit of using puppy pads, but rather you want them to go outside long term to pee and poop
• It’s worth noting that some bigger dogs will shred puppy pads with their nails and weight – so, this can be a problem for people with bigger dogs, but not necessarily smaller puppies
