Washable Reusable Pads Dogs Housebreaking Reviews Summary

Absorbency and Leak Protection

Pros:

• "The urine seeps right in the pad, has never gone through it to the floor, which was ruining my wood floors, and they have never tracked urine off of it!"
• "These pads are thick and very absorbent. Then when it is time to clean through in laundry and wash. The Pad comes out looking and smelling new!"
• "They are very absorbent! I’ve washed them at least a dozen times now with no issues!"
• "The pads absorbed the dog urine without making a mess."
• "Great absorbency..nothing has leaked through onto my tile."
• "These are perfect for the crate! They absorb every drop too."
• "They work very well. Our new puppy has peed on them a few times and I've checked every time for any moisture on the underside and never found any on the bottom."

Cons:

• "I am using as intended for my dogs. I wash them when soiled, they do tend to hold odor. I do not dry them in the dryer, they air dry. I don’t usually have to wash them more than once a week but I have noticed the waterproof backing that supposed to lock the urine in is now splitting after only 6 months so now the pads leak."
• "The only thing I don't like is they do let pee go through we just put a puppy pad under it."
• "And every time I pick it up there is pee underneath."
• "The urine completely leaked through! Buyer beware!"
• "Unfortunately after one wash on delicate and line dry the pads leak after less than 24 hours."
• "The pads started out fine until I realized they were leaking. Now they are not absorbing the urine, it just sits on top of the pad."
• "They never once contained the pee and it would leak out the bottom of the blue 'waterproof' underside immediately."

Environmental Impact and Cost-Effectiveness

Pros:

• "I LOVE the fact that they're resuable. So much better for the environment unlike the disposable ones."
• "I’m not spending a bunch of money for paper and not making more trash. They do the job whether pee or poop. Earth friendly!"
• "SAVES SO MUCH MONEY FROM DISPOSABLE PEE PADS AND NO MORE PLASTIC TRASH HURTING OUR ENVIRONMENT!"
• "I started buying these 3 years ago. I would get a pack of two at a time, until I reached eight. I have four small dogs. I keep one in the living room and one in my bedroom. Using these pads saves me more than $600 a year."
• "These pads save so much money compared to throw away pads. I have washed them many times and they haven’t lost their ability to absorb my dogs messes."
• "I think these washable ones are really going to save me money in the long-term."
• "If you want a more sustainable and easy way to keep your dog from making a mess in your house… Definitely give these a try!!!"

Cons:

• "They are not cheap so having to replace them every 6 months can get expensive. I am probably not going to buy these again, will look for different manufacturer."
• "Complete waste of money. I threw them both in the trash."
• "What a waste of money IMO and I will look elsewhere for a product that actually works."
• "I bought two of these a while ago and used them for a year. When I went to replace them the quality had decreased significantly. I will not re-purchase."
• "Does not work. The dogs can move it and fold it and the pee goes all over."
• "I’m so disappointed! This is a horribly made product!"
• "These are the worst pads I have purchased- the bottom material is slippery so when the dogs run over them they scrunch up so the humans get tripped up."

Odor Control and Maintenance

Pros:

• "My 14 yr old lab likes how these stay in place when she struggles to squat (arthritis in knees and hips). I like throwing a soiled one in the wash with a little vinegar added after replacing it with the clean one."
• "They can also go in the dryer, but I just lay in over the tub and they air dry fast."
• "They work really well and are of a good quality and also wash up nicely."
• "These clean up so easily. Nothing sticks. NOTHING."
• "They are so easy to clean."
• "I wash them daily now using soap, bleach, and Lysol laundry disinfectant."
• "Just toss them in your washing machine, wash, and no more urine smell. They can go in the dryer too."
