Paw Legend Washable Reusable Dog Pee Pads - Super Absorbent Puppy Training Pads (2 Pack) | Odor Control & Leak Proof | Perfect for House Training, Travel & Crate Use

I have a rescue dog who was apparently potty-trained using puppy pads. I have succeeded in getting her trained to go to the door when she needs to go out, but that only works when I am at home. Rather than have her in a crate all day while I am at work, I chose to use the puppy pads during the day, and she has been really good to only 'go' on those and not my hardwood floor or carpeting. But they can get pricey when you are using a fresh one daily - not to mention the fact that the disposal of them in the trash is not really environmentally friendly. So I looked for an alternative solution and found these reusable dog pee pads. I was pleasantly surprised at how large they are. You can see in one of the pictures that I have compared it to the X-Large disposable pads I had been buying, and I would say that it is at least half-again as large as the disposable. But what really surprised me was how absorbent they are! They have a waterproof backing to keep liquids from damaging the floor underneath, but they felt thinner than I thought would be necessary. But don't let that fool you! I have had one in place now for 3 days! Yes, you read that right - THREE days! I have seen my girl use it several times and yet there is no odor and you cannot tell by looking at it that it has been soiled. Fortunately, the package came with 2 pads, so I will be able to throw this one in the wash and still have one to use. I have never been able to keep a disposable pad down for more than a day - even with the lavender-scented pads, there was a tell-tale odor, and they just weren't absorbent enough to hold much more. Also, I didn't have any problems with getting my dog adjusted to these - I just placed it in the same location as her disposable pad and she took right to it. Do yourself and the environment a favor and try these!
